TL;DR: In this article, the effect of reinforcement type, processing methods and reflow cycle on actual retained ratio of foreign reinforcement added in solder joints was systematically studied, and the morphology of prepared composite solder powder and solder pastes was examined; retained ratios of reinforcement (RRoR) added in composite solder joints after different reflow cycles were analysed quantitatively using an Inductively Coupled Plasma optical system (ICP-OES Varian-720).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the mechanisms of dynamic response of thin metallic plates, covered by a frontal polyurea layer, using a physically verified, custom material model for two-part Polyurea implemented within a finite-element-method framework.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact fatigue of adhesively bonded joints was investigated for two types of typical adherends, an aluminium alloy and an aluminum alloy-like material, and the results showed that the impacts can have a highly detrimental impact on performance and reliability of such components.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D finite element (FE) model of the tensile test is developed and validated with experimental work, which can be used as a simple and cost effective tool to predict the thermo-mechanical behavior of UHMWPE part under various loading conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of non-planar toolpaths on the performance of fused filament fabrication (FFF) additive manufacturing has been investigated, where a range of nonplanar geometries were developed including a ZigZagZ sequence in which filaments were deposited as the nozzle moved in the X or Y direction while simultaneously zigzagging up-and-down i.e. in the Z direction.
