  1. Multiscale analysis of multilayer printed circuit board using Mechanics of Structure Genome

    23 Jan 2019

    The structure of Printed Circuit board (PCB) is very complicated because it consists of woven composites and custom defined conducting layers. To improve the reliability of PCB, it is critical to predict the constitutive relations accurately. This study by implementing Mechanics of Structure...
