Physical Metallurgy (EBT211/4)

While tin/lead solders have dominated the electronics industry for many years, environmental considerations and new legislation are forcing change. Backed by more than ten years of research in Pb-free solders, many electronics manufacturers are poised for conversion.A Guide to Lead-free Solders is intended as a tool to help industry as it moves into a new era in the production and use of solders. An overview of the principles of soldering technology is provided beginning with the theory underlying each concept. Focusing on the most up-to-date methods for testing and characterization, these theories are then reinforced by experimental examples and industrial applications.Addresses key issues in assembly from a materials point of view.Gives the reader convenient access to data essential for the proper evaluation and employment of cutting-edge ternary Sn/Ag/X soldersAllows comparison of the performance of Pb-free solders with that of standard eutectic SnPb.Although primarily of interest to professional design and reliability engineers working in electronics assembly and manufacturing, A Guide to Lead-free Solders will also be valuable for graduate students looking to apply expertise in materials, mechanical or electronic engineering in this industry. Researchers in electronics and materials will find the latest research at their fingertips together with the likely directions industry will need from such research in the future.

This reader-friendly book fosters a strong conceptual understanding of fluid flow phenomena through lucid physical descriptions, photographs, clear illustrations and fully worked example problems. More than 1,100 problems, including open-ended design problems and computer-oriented problems, provide an opportunity to apply fluid mechanics principles. Throughout, the authors have meticulously reviewed all problems, solutions, and text material to ensure accuracy. The Student Solutions Manual contains 100 example problems with solutions, designed by the authors to address the main concepts of each chapter of their text, Engineering Fluid Mechanics, 7E. These complete worked-out solutions help walk you through problem-solving processes that you can apply to the exercises in the main text.

The proposed is an updated edition of a book that presents a classic approach to engineering elasticity.  Lead author Art Boresi is considered one of the best authors in engineering mechanics alive today and has a number of well respected books to his credit.  The classic approach taken will be enhanced in this revision based on both the authors plans and their acceptance of reviewer comments asking for more coverage of "modern" subjects and applications such as nano- and biomechanical elsaticity.  Co-author Ken Chong at the NSF has proposed adding a third author, Wing K. Liu, from Northwestern University to help in this effort.  They will also work to add more engineering applications and examples to supplement their more theoretical coverage.  As with the second edition as solutions manual will be available on the instructor′s companion site.
