The effect of electron beam (e-beam) curing on an ultra low dielectric constant material, porous organosilicate glass (OSG) is investigated. In conventional IC integration processes, photoresist (P. R.) stripping with O2 plasma and wet chemical stripper is an inevitable step. However, dielectric degradation often occurs when low-k dielectrics undergo the PR stripping processing. This limits the...

The present research deals with the flexural-torsional buckling analysis of sandwich web and/or flanges tapered doubly-symmetric I-beam. All section walls are composed of two metal face layers and a functionally graded (FG) porous core. It is assumed that the material properties of the porous core vary gradually in the longitudinal direction according to the simple power-law function considerin...

Rigorous cross-property bounds that connect the effective thermal conductivity k. (or the electrical conductivity a.) and the effective bulk modulus K. of any isotropic, two-phase composite were recently derived by the authors. Here we reformulate these bounds and apply them to porous rocks with dry or fluid-filled pores. It is shown that knowledge of the effective conductivity can yield sharp ...

A study of body waves in elastic porous media saturated by two immiscible Newtonianfluids is presented. We analytically show the existence of three compressionalwaves and one rotationalwave in an infinite porous medium. The first and second compressional waves are analogousto the fast and slow compressionalwaves in Biot's theory. The third compressionalwave is associated with the pressure diffe...

The objective of the present chapter is to analyze the radiation and mass transfer effects on an unsteady two-dimensional laminar mixed convective boundary layer flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting chemically reacting fluid, along a vertical moving semi-infinite permeable plate with suction, embedded in a uniform porous medium, in the presence of transverse magnetic field...

This paper considers an important model of boundary value problem with a condition at infinity namely combined free and forced convection over a plane of arbitrary shape embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium; this model admits dual solutions, and uses a technique, which is to some extent modification of homotopy analysis method (HAM), in order to obtain dual solutions analytically with hi...

In the present paper, effect of initial stresses on the propagation of Love waves has been investigated in a fluid saturated, anisotropic, porous layer lying in welded contact over a prestressed, non-homogeneous elastic half space. The dispersion equation of phase velocity has been derived. It has been found that the phase velocity of Love waves is considerably influenced by porosity and anisot...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we have investigated the chaotic behavior of thermal convection in couple stress liquid saturated porous layer subject to gravity‎, ‎heated from below and cooled from above‎, ‎based on theory of dynamical system‎. ‎A low dimensional Lorenz‎- ‎like model is obtained by using Galerkin-truncation approximation‎. ‎We found that there is proportional relation between scaled couple ...

We present a theoretical approach to study the dielectric properties of porous ceramics and composite materials and explain the experimentally observed notable influence of the coupling between the components of a saturated porous ceramic on the final behavior of the sample. This model is based on the assumption of a dielectric coupling between the components that modifies the expected averaged...
