Friction-Drag Reduction by Transverse Wall Motion – A Review

The quest for drag reduction is driven by environmental concerns, in general, and the need to reduce fuel consumption in transport applications, in particular. Turbulent friction is especially important in civil aviation, accounting for over 50% of the total drag in cruise. This article provides an ‘entry-level’, review of research in this area, principally over the past two decades.

Elastic Analysis of Inhomogeneous Solids: History and Development in Brief

Inhomogeneous materials (the ones exhibiting spatial variations in their, all or specific, material properties) present a great deal of interest for scientists and engineers in both academia and industry. The main objectives of this paper are to present a brief survey of the development history of the elastic analysis of inhomogeneous solids and characterize some dominant analytical and semi-analytical methods.

Overview Study of Solder Joint Reliability due to Creep Deformation

The effective lifetimes of electronic packages are affected by various thermos-mechanical deformations. Creep is considered the most salient mechanism in the failure of solder joints. In this paper, studying the characteristics of familiar creep models in detail showed that the Garofalo-Arrhenius creep model and modified strain energy density model was convincingly productive for studying the reliability of various electronic packages.

A Review of Actuation Force in Origami Applications

Origami, the ancient paper folding art has inspired the engineering equipment and design for decades. Recently, researchers are interested in being able to create self-folding structures. Such a structure enables kinematic manipulation by external forces or moments without folding and/or unfolding operations. This paper investigates and analyses previous literatures on the key driving force of the actuation structure.
