Critics of free markets such as Oren Cass claim that Austrians and other supporters of the free economy are engaged in ...

Throughout history, decentralization and secession have helped pave the way for more individual freedom. Naturally, political ...

One of the main objective of mechanics of materials is to predict when the material experiences fracture (fails), and to prevent this failure. With this objective in mind, it is desirable to use it ...

Failure theories are used to predict when a material will fail due to static loading. They do this by comparing the stress ...

Failure theories are used to predict when a material will fail due to static loading. They do this by comparing the stress state at a point with material properties that can be easily determined ...

In the case of via chains, computed von Mises stresses agree with the results of thermal cycle experiments; we predict failure when SiLK is used as a dielectric and predict no failure when SiCOH is ...
