...; published online March 26, 2014. Assoc. Editor: Allen Y. Yi. 11 06 2013 07 02 2014 In this paper, a novel approach to the derivation of the tool-life distribution, when the tool useful life ends after a progressive wear process, is presented. It is based on the diffusion theory...

... with the scanning speed of the ultrasound insonation and that interconnected porous structures could be obtained using a partial saturation procedure. A concentration-dependent gas diffusion model was developed to predict the gas concentration profiles for partially saturated samples. A cell culture study...

...Brian K. Paul; Patrick Kwon; Ramkumar Subramanian This paper investigates the manufacturability limits of fin aspect ratios within two-fluid counter-flow microchannel arrays based on the stress state between laminae during diffusion bonding. In prior papers, it has been shown that the diffusion...

... a nonconduction laser heating model, in which the phase change is accommodated. Temperature dependent nitrogen diffusion coefficient is used when computing the nitrogen concentration distribution in the substrate material. Thermal stresses due to temperature gradient are predicted in the solid region...
