Navier-Stokes solutions about the F/A-18 forebody-leading-edge extension configuration

Three-dimensional viscous flow computations are presented for the F/A-18 forebody including the leading-edge extension geometry. Solutions are obtained from an algorithm for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations that incorporates an upwind-biased, flux-difference-splitting approach along with longitudinally patched grids. Results are presented for both laminar and fully turbulent flow assumptions and include correlations with wind-tunnel as well as flight-test results. A good quantitative agreement for the forebody surface pressure distribution is achieved between the turbulent computations and wind-tunnel measurements at M ∞ = 0.6. The computed turbulent surface flow patterns on the forebody qualitatively agree well with in-flight surface flow patterns obtained on an F/A-18 aircraft at M ∞ = 0.34

Lead-free solders: issues of toxicity, availability and impacts of extraction

This project set out to evaluate the critical issues of toxicity and public health effects, material availability, and the environmental impacts of raw material extraction and metal finishing, with the goal of using environmental impact as a factor in selecting feasible lead-free alloys.

(abstract) A Brief, Selective Review of Thermal Cycling Fatigue in Eutectic Tin-Lead Solder

This paper reviews selected parts of the current literature relevant to thermo-mechanical fatigue mechanisms in eutectic tin-lead solder, and suggests a general outline to account for some observed failures. The field is found to be complex. One recent experimental study finds some failure modes to be sensitive to joint geometry. Attempts to extrapolate from test environments to service environments have had only limited success. Much work remains to be done before fatigue failures in this material can be considered as under practical control.
