Digital photoelasticity is a powerful optical technique that leverages the stress-induced birefringence in transparent materials to map the distribution of internal stresses. The method has evolved ...

Stress concentration analysis in composite and orthotropic plates is a critical area of research that addresses the localisation of stress in regions of geometric discontinuity, such as holes or ...

The benefits of 3D IC architectures are well-documented – smaller footprints, lower power, and increased performance. However, the move to heterogeneous 3D designs also introduces a host of new ...

With the semiconductor industry moving toward 3D DRAM, 3D logic architectures, and 1000+ layer 3D NAND stacks, 1 mechanical failures may become more common. Due to the complexity of these structures, ...

The rapid adoption of 3D integrated circuits (ICs) and heterogeneous packaging heralds a new era in semiconductor design. Benefits are clear: greater functional density, reduced footprint, and ...
