Wafer Scale Flexible Interconnect Fabrication for Heterogeneous Integration

System in a package (SIP) allows integrated circuit (ICs) modules or other components from different suppliers and technologies to be integrated into highly functional products. This SIP could realize miniaturized and multifunctional systems enabling emerging technologies like solid-state lightening (SSL), internet of things (IOT), etc. Due to...

Dynamic interaction of subsea pipeline spans due to vortex-Induced Vibrations

When currents are present around a subsea pipeline, vortices are shed alternately from the upper and lower sides of the pipe. The vortex shedding can induce vibrations in areas where the pipe is suspended above the seabed. These vibrations are called Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV). VIV have been and still are a cause of concern for pipeline...

Foldable 3D Wafer Level SSL Package Using Flexible Interconnect

Solid State Lighting (SSL) is on track to replace conventional incandescent and fluorescent sources for general lighting. Even though it offers many benefits, the high initial device costs are still a major hindrance for many consumers. Packaging can account for up to half of the total device price, offering high potential for cost reduction. In...

Local buckling collapse of marine pipelines

To keep up with the growing demand for oil and gas, the oil and gas industry ventures into deeper waters. For a deep water pipeline project, South Stream, a pipeline test program is developed. Part of this program is the investigation of the resistance of an externally pressurised pipeline against local buckling collapse. This is a decisive...
