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.

Geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures have been used extensively in recent decades due to their significant advantages over more conventional earth retaining structures, including the cost-effectiveness, reduced construction time, and possibility of using locally-available lower quality soils and/or waste materials, such as recycled construction and demolition (C&D) wastes. The time-dependent shear behaviour at the interfaces between the geosynthetic and the backfill is an important factor affecting the overall long-term performance of such structures, and thereby should be properly understood. In this study, an innovative multistage direct shear test procedure is introduced to characterise the time-dependent response of the interface between a high-strength geotextile and a recycled C&D material. After a prescribed shear displacement is reached, the shear box is kept stationary for a specific period of time, after which the test proceeds again, at a constant displacement rate, until the peak and large-displacement shear strengths are mobilised. The shear stress-shear displacement curves from the proposed multistage tests exhibited a progressive decrease in shear stress with time (stress relaxation) during the period in which the shear box was restrained from any movement, which was more pronounced under lower normal stress values. Regardless of the prior interface shear displacement and duration of the stress relaxation stage, the peak and residual shear strength parameters of the C&D material-geotextile interface remained similar to those obtained from the conventional (benchmark) tests carried out under constant displacement rate.

Abstract An important parameter required for computing heat loss through buried submarine pipelines transporting crude oil is the thermal conductivity of soils. This paper describes an apparatus designed for determination of the thermal conductivity of soils at the desired moisture/ density condition in the laboratory under steady-state conditions. Experimental results on the three soils studied show that thermal conductivity increases as dry density increases at a constant moisture content and that it increases as water content increases at constant dry density. These results confirm the trends isolated earlier by Kersten. The experimental results are compared with the available empirical relationships. Kersten's relation is observed to predict the thermal conductivity of these soils reasonably. The predictions from Makowski and Mochlinski's relation (quoted by Szilas) are not good but improve if the sum of silt and clay fractions is treated as a clay fraction in the computation. Introduction Submarine pipelines are used extensively for transporting crude oil from offshore to other pipelines offshore or onshore. These pipelines usually are steel pipes covered with a coating of concrete. They often are buried some depth below the mudline. The rheological properties of different crude oils vary, and their viscosities increase with a decrease in temperature. Below some temperature, the liquid oil tends to gel. Therefore, for efficient transportation, the crude must be at a relatively high temperature so that it has a low viscosity. The temperature of the soil/water system surrounding a submarine pipeline is usually lower than that of oil. This temperature difference induces heat to flow from the oil to the environment, and the temperature of the oil decreases as it travels along the length of the pipeline. One must ensure that this temperature reduction does not exceed desirable limits dictated by the rheological properties of oil and by the imperatives of efficient economic properties of oil and by the imperatives of efficient economic transportation. Thus the analytical problem is to predict the temperature of crude in the pipeline some distance away from the input station. To do so, knowledge of the overall heat transfer coefficient for the pipeline is required, for which, in turn, it is necessary to know the thermal conductivities of the oil, the pipeline materials and its coating, and the soil. This paper presents thermal conductivities of soils determined in the laboratory under steady-state conditions and also presents a comparison of the test results of three soils with values determined from existing empirical relationships. Literature Review Heat moves spontaneously from higher to lower temperatures. In a completely dry porous body, transmission of heat can take place not only by conduction through the solid framework of the body and the air in the pores but also by convection and radiation between the walls of a pore and by macro- and microdistillation. In soils, however, it can be ascribed essentially to conduction, a molecular phenomenon that can be expressed in terms of experimentally determined coefficients of conductivity or resistivity, although these actually may include microdistillation and other mechanisms.
