The size of designs continues to grow and IC manufacturers are pushing for higher test quality, especially in mission-critical applications such as transportation and medicine. More advanced nodes ...

I noted in a 2005 column (see "Current compression test methods" under “Editor's Pick,” at top right) that there are three basic methods of loading a composite material test specimen in compression: ...

A concern in some practical applications of materials, including composites, is their ability to resist permanent deformation with time under load; to sustain a load when they are deformed by a fixed ...
