Microtiter plates with 96 wells are being increasingly used for biofilm studies due to their high throughput, low cost, easy handling, and easy application of several analytical methods to evaluate different biofilm parameters. These methods provide bulk information about the biofilm formed in each well but lack in detail, namely, regarding the spatial location of the biofilms. This location can be obtained by microscopy observation using optical and electron microscopes, but these techniques have lower throughput and higher cost and are subjected to equipment availability. This work describes a differential crystal violet (CV) staining method that enabled the determination of the spatial location ofEscherichia colibiofilms formed in the vertical wall of shaking 96-well plates. It was shown that the biofilms were unevenly distributed on the wall with denser cell accumulation near the air-liquid interface. The results were corroborated by scanning electron microscopy and a correlation was found between biofilm accumulation and the wall shear strain rates determined by computational fluid dynamics. The developed method is quicker and less expensive and has a higher throughput than the existing methods available for spatial location of biofilms in microtiter plates.

The coefficient of permeability of hydraulic asphalt concrete is in the range 10−8–10−10 cm/s. Laboratory test results show that triaxial specimens in axial compression can undergo axial strains up to 18% without any significant increase in permeability until approaching the compressive strength. For temperatures between 5 and 20 °C and strain rates between 2 × 10−3%/s and 5 × 10−3%/s, conventional hydraulic asphalt concrete can tolerate 1%–3% tensile strains before cracking in direct tension tests and strains up to 3%–4% in bending. At 20 °C the tensile and bending strains at cracking are 2–4 times higher than those at 0 °C, and at −20 °C they are approximately 0.2% and 0.8%, respectively. Asphalt concrete possesses pronounced crack self-healing properties. In the experiments, the crack leakage rate dropped 1–4 orders of magnitude within a few hours and the cracked specimens regained 55% of the intact tensile strength after only 1 day of self-healing. In summary, the comprehensive series of laboratory tests documents that asphalt concrete has characteristics that make the material extremely well suited for use in impervious barriers in dams, and the test results reported herein can be of great use in barrier design.

The major focus of this work was the determination of the nine constants required for Anand’s viscoplastic constitutive model for a lead-free solder alloy, 95.5Sn3.8Ag0.7Cu and to compare them with those for SnPb. The test specimen was a cast dog bone shape based on ASTM E 8M-01, with a diameter of 4mm and a gauge length of 20mm. A series of tensile experiments were carried out: constant displacement tests ranging from 6.5 × 10−5/s to 1.0 × 10−3/s at temperatures of 20°C, 75°C, and 125°C; constant load tests at a range of loads from 10MPa to 65MPa, also at temperatures of 20°C, 75°C, and 125°C. A series of non-linear fitting processes was used to determine the model constants. Comparisons were then made with experimental measurements of the stress-plastic strain curves from constant displacement rate tests: it was found that the model matched the experimental data at low strain rates but did not capture the strain hardening effect, especially at high strain rates. A finite element model of the test was also constructed using ANSYS software. This software includes the Anand model as an option for its range of viscoplastic elements, requiring that the nine constants be input. In this case, an 8-noded axisymmetric element (VISCO108) was used to model the test specimen under constant displacement rate loading. The model was then used to predict the stress-plastic strain curve and this was compared to both the experimental measurements and the fitted Anand model. Reasonable agreement was found between the Anand model and the FE predictions at small strain rates. Finally, a BGA device was simulated under accelerated temperature cycling conditions using ANSYS with the fitted Anand for the SnAgCu solder joints. A Morrow-type fatigue life model was applied using empirical constants from two published sources and good agreement was found between experiment and predicted fatigue life.
