Hard deformations

The dynamic changes actually lead to the formation of a pulse, which is more or less elongated depending on the frequency [91]. This pulse is followed by a hardly deformed zone so that mixed and unmixed zones are created in an alternating... 

Droplet disintegration is caused by the kinetic energy of the turbulence eddies. Eddies whose size 2 corresponds approximately to the droplet diameter d32) be. z as 32, have the strongest dispersing action. For 2 > d32 the droplet is carried along by the flow and thereby is hardly deformed, whereas for 2 <132 the eddies... 

Only when the shear forces (i) on the droplet are superior to the counter pressure forces the droplet will break. An extra complication occurs if the major and minor components have different viscosities. It is easy to realize that if the viscosity of the dispersed phase is much higher that the viscosity of the continuous phase, the droplets of the dispersed phase will hardly deform. A very useful theory originates from Grace (2) who composed a graph of the critical capillary number against the viscosity ratio (Fig 5.2). This capillary number (Ca) is defined as... 

Moreover the presence of the bases to heterogeneous nucleation in form of hard deformable phases for example titanium borides in structure in aluminum, generate possibility of point cracks formation (Fig. 11) and in result of this delamination of sheet (foil) during rolling (Keles Dundar, 2007). 

A liquid flows readily yet it can adopt extremely stable shapes. A drop of oil in water or a soap bubble forms a perfect sphere that is smooth on an atomic scale and is hardly deformable (Figure 1.1). The fluctuations of the surface thickness are of the order of a mere Angstrom. A liquid surface can be thought of as a stretched membrane characterized by a surface tension that opposes its distortion. 

B) The HAZ region of a welded pipe under mechanical load, which reaches the maximum load, is hardly deformed added to this are residual stresses caused by welding - both lead to very high mechanical loads... 

Emulsions are dispersions of deformable liquid drops in a liquid continuous phase. However, if they are composed of very small drops, they are very much like a small-particle-sized dispersion since the drops are hardly deformable. As a result they follow essentially the same kind of rules given below for solid dispersions. 

The director deformations described by that do not lead to layer compressions, in the continuum range where the wavelengths A of the deformation are much larger than the molecular dimensions (A 10 nm) can be induced by stress K 27t/pf <10T N/m. This is usually smaller than of the layer compression modulus B l(f N/m , For this reason, deformations that do not lead to layer compression (such as splay in SmA) are usually called soft deformations, whereas those that require layer compression (such as bend and twist in SmA) are the so-called hard deformations. In SmC there will be six soft and three hard deformations, so it is basically impossible to take into account all elastic terms while keeping the transparent physics. (In the chiral smectic C materials, additional three terms are needed, as shown by de Gennes. ) Fortunately, however, the larger number of soft deformations enable for the material to avoid the hard deformations, which makes it possible to understand most of the elastic effects, even in SmC materials. 

In the following, we will mainly concentrate on the soft deformations, assuming undistorted layers, and only outline the hard deformations. 

This expression is not very transparent and has been rarely used in explaining any experimental situation. Since, in SmC, the director can move arormd a cone, in most cases it has enough freedom to avoid the hard deformations, and one usually ends up dealing only with soft deformations. In fact, in most cases, even these are complicated to work with, and this theory was refined and reformulated by several authors. ...

A demonstration of the six soft and three hard deformations of a smecfic C structure without the coupling terms B13, Ci, C2 (which are difficult to visualize) is shown in Figure 4.15. 

For flip-chip solder joiiung, plastic strain of solder bumps is a critical parameter that governs the joint reliability. Increasing bump height can reduce the bump strain and thus increase the joint reliability, as shown in Fig. 15(a). However, a systematical study on the effect of bump height showed that the failure mechanism of ACA flip-chip joints is totally different (Ref 37). In ACA joints, the bump and pad are usually made of metals that are much stiffer than adhesives. In other words, thermal mismatch stresses can hardly deform the bump and pad, and the shear strain is localized in the adhesive between the mating bump and pad (Fig. 15b). In this case.
