Using Nanoindentation to Measure in Situ Young’s Modulus and Strain-Rate Sensitivity of Solder

Instrumented indentation, or nanoindentation, is an important technique used for measuring the mechanical properties of materials, and can be conducted in situ even on the circuit board itself. This ...

A Modified Constant Modulus Algorithm Enters The Scene

Modern communications systems employ bandwidth-efficient modulation techniques, such as quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM). With QAM, the amplitude and phase of a sinusoidal signal are both varied ...

What’s the Difference Between the Elastic Modulus and Kinetic Modulus? (.PDF Download)

In 1807, Thomas Young discovered that stress in a material (F/A) is linearly proportional to the strain (change in length/original length) in that material. This, in turn, led to the discovery of a ...
