The proposed book will offer comprehensive and versatile methodologies and recommendations on how to determine dynamic characteristics of typical micro- and opto-electronic structural elements (printed circuit boards, solder joints, heavy devices, etc.) and how to design a viable and reliable structure that would be able to withstand high-level dynamic loading. Particular attention will be given to portable devices and systems designed for operation in harsh environments (such as automotive, aerospace, military, etc.) In-depth discussion from a mechanical engineer's viewpoint will be...

From the mechanics point of view, this monograph systematically illustrates the theory of plastic bending and its engineering applications. Most of the contents of this book are based on research carried out by the authors during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The monograph not only expounds the authors' contributions to the fundamental theory of plastic bending, but also demonstrates various applications of this theory in the sheet metal forming, especially in the analysis and prediction of the large deflection, springback and wrinkling of strips and plates during bending or stamping....
