Test Studies on Geogrid–Soil Interface Behavior under Static and Dynamic Loads

Behavior of foam glass aggregate under static loads

Foam glass aggregate is produced in a controlled production process. Due to its low density and thermal conductivity foam glass aggregate offers a broad variety of applications. Based on extensive laboratory tests foam glass aggregate is investigated in the scope of a joint research project performed at Vienna University of Technology and University of Innsbruck. The mechanical properties of si...

Parametric Study of the Empty and Foam-Filled End-Capped Conical Tubes under quasi Static and Dynamic impact Loads

This paper investigates the parametric study of the empty and foam-filled end-capped tubes under quasi static and dynamic loadings. The numerical crash analysis of the empty and foam-filled tubes was performed using the explicit finite element code ABAQUS- explicit. Satisfactory agreements were generally achieved between the numerical and experimental results. In order to determine the crash be...

Thermomechanical behavior of micron scale solder joints under dynamic loads

Recent trends in reliability and fatigue life analysis of electronic devices have involved developing structural integrity models for predicting the operating lifetime under vibratory and thermal environmental exposure. Solder joint reliability is the most critical issue for the structural integrity of surface mounted electronics. Extensive research has been done on thermal behavior of solder j...
