Trilayer structures such as flip chip plastic ball grid array (FC-PBGA) packages are bodies made of a large variety of dissimilar materials. Due to the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatches between and temperature gradients within the layers, thermally induced interaction becomes a typical type of the loads for the joint layer made of lead-free solder joint interconnections. Thermal stresses and strains at the interfaces of solder joints and neighboring adhesive layers are the cause for solder joint fatigue failures, which account for the most common package failures. The current study puts forward a fatigue life prediction method for a trilayer structure using the critical plane-energy fatigue damage parameter in combination with the modified Coffin-Manson life model. The proposed method of calculated fatigue damage parameter for the samples of study, along with their experimental life (Nf50%) under two different thermal conditions is presented. The values of life in (0–100°C) condition and (25–125°C) with the same temperature ramp rate and dwell conditions are found to differ by a factor of 1.3 where the structures tested under (0–100°C) condition show lower lives. The present study further correlated the fatigue damage parameters with the Coffin-Manson type equation to calculate/predict the fatigue life of structures under (25–125°C) condition. The results of the Nf50 fatigue life prediction versus the experimental cycles show that the predicted lives of samples with SAC305 solder joints fall apart with a factor ranging from (1.24)∼(−1.45). The advantage of the proposed method in comparison with the existing methods in life prediction of the trilayer structure with solder alloy is that there are no empirical parameters involved in energy-critical plane damage parameter in life prediction of the trilayer structure. Parameters within the proposed approach purely involves mechanical and fatigue properties of the midlayer alloy.

Fatigue life prediction is an important part of the reliability and durability analysis of automobile components. Based on Wang and Brown’s framework, multiaxial random fatigue damage was adopted to predict the fatigue life of half-shaft. The stress analysis of half-shaft was resolved analytically to determine the local stress tensor in the potential area of fracture. The maximum shear strain fatigue damage parameter and the normal stress fatigue damage parameter were evaluated to predict the fatigue life of half-shaft. The results show that the prediction method is reliable and meets the service life and safety requirements.

The research on multiaxial fatigue life prediction methods is reviewed in the present paper from two aspects of experiment and theory. It is pointed out that the reasonable methods of the critical plane determining, multiaxial cycle counting and multiaxial fatigue damage parameter fixing are necessary if the fatigue life prediction models established under the multiaxial constant amplitude loading were applied to the life prediction of the complex multiaxial load. The shortcomings of existing researches are discussed. In the aspect of experiment, it is devoid of the multiaxial fatigue test that the loading components acted with different frequencies, and in the aspect of theory, the additional hardening effect of the multiaxial out-of-frequency loading is not considered. Both in the theoretical research and practical engineering applications, the problem of the out-of-frequency multiaxial loading is a pressing issue.

Heat-aging effects on the material properties and fatigue life prediction of natural rubber were experimentally investigated. The rubber specimens were heat-aged in an oven at the temperature ranging from 50oC to 100oC for a period ranging from 1 day to 90days. Fatigue life prediction methodology of vulcanized natural rubber was proposed by incorporating the finite element analysis and fatigue damage parameter determined from fatigue test. Fatigue life prediction equation effectively represented by a single function using the Green-Lagrange strain. Predicted lives are in a good agreement with the experimental lives within a factor of two
