ABSTRACTIn this paper, a methodology with workable procedures was proposed and successfully transferred the hysteresis loops of BGA solder joint specimen held by loading-directionally aligned grip system under oblique displacement controlled cyclic tests, into hysteresis loops of “representative” solder ball itself under proportional straining and constant strain rate cyclic tests. Under the elastic unloading during cyclic test, value of elastic modulus of bulk solder specimens and the linear behavior of grip system were used. Following the study of Endochronic cyclic viscoplasticity, the kernel function ρ(Z) = ρ0 exp (−KZ)/Zα was found to be independent of the oblique angle (Φ) of straining paths. However, the steady cyclic behavior of material function f(ξ) ≡ f0 in the definition of intrinsic time Z contained two functions: (1) is the effective inelastic strain amplitude, and (2) f(Φ) Φ(rad) between Φ = 0 (uniaxial) and Φ = π/2 (shear). With (ρ0, α, K) = (4MPa, 0.84, 46) and f0 = [0.24(π/2−Φ)2 − 0.018(π2−Φ) + 1.2] , the endochronic theory predicted experimental hysteresis loops of BGA Sn/3.5Ag/0.75Cu solder joint specimens and Φ = 0°, 27°, 45°, 63°, 90° quite well.Results of ρ(Z) under f0 = 1 were found under independent study based on cyclic tests of bulk specimens under constant uniaxially strain amplitude and various constant strain rates. The values of (ρ0, α, K) = (7.3MPa, 0.84, 30) with f0 = 1.0 were all independent of strain rates. Comparisons of results of both types of specimens revealed that the values of (α, K) were almost the same but (1) ρ0 was smaller for micro-size solder ball, (2) is a material function of Sn/3.5Ag/0.75Cu itself (3) f(Φ) is not a material function, rather it is a special feature to reflect the effects of detail design of solder joint specimen and its connecting methods to the substrates

AbstractThis paper studied cyclic behavior Sn/3.8Ag/0.7Cu solder with dendritic microstructure. A cyclic damage factor D under constant strain amplitude fatigue tests, was defined by using the reducing rate of maximum cyclic tensile stress σa. The critical cyclic damage DC and it's fatigue initiation life NI were determined very consistently by using separately the experimental σavs. N curves and the percolation theory. The endochronic cyclic damage-coupled viscoplastic theory proposed by the 1st author was used to simulate cyclic stress-strain hysteresis loops with damage under strain amplitude (εa) 0.8% at 298K. The results were in very good agreement with data. Combining the evolution equation of intrinsic damage and the computed cyclic stress-inelastic strain relation, a modified Coffin-Manson relationship was derived. By setting DC = 0.3, it predicted very effectively the NI data under σa from 0.2% to 1.0%.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, cyclic damage behavior of cyclically load drop curves and their fatigue initiation life of Sn/3.5 Ag/0.75Cu BGA solder joint specimens under oblique displacement cyclic tests were investigated by the theory of damage — coupled endochronic viscoplasticity.By linearly unloading with damage elastic modulus and the linearly damage-free behavior of grip system, the damage loops of force-Φ angle oblique displacement of BGA solder joint specimen were converted successfully into damage loops of the representative solder ball under cyclically proportional straining, which can be predicted by the endochronic constitutive equations. These results established the relationship of the BGA oblique displacement amplitudes da(Φ) and the effective inelastic strain amplitudes of solder ball: da (Φ)= . Based on the phenomena of cyclic damage and its fatigue life, a Φ dependent degree of damage in the evolution equation of damage under proportional strain path was proposed to depend positively on and N cycles. Using this parameter in the damage per cycle computed by the endochronic theory, a Φ modified cycles N(Φ)/β(Φ) can be defined and then derive the Φ modified Lee-Coffin-Manson (Φ-LCM) equation for the fatigue initiation life of solder ball:Finally, a Φ modified Lee's BGA (Φ LBGA) equation for BGA solder joint specimens can be derived:This equation can predict quite well the life data of Sn/3.5Ag/0.75Cu solder joint specimens under Φ ϵ [0π/2]. As a consequence, a vehicle to study the fatigue initiation life of BGA solder joint specimens is constructed completely by the workable methodology and the theory discussed in the paper.

Carbon-like materials such as the anode and the ramming paste play a crucial role in the efficiency of the Hall–Héroult process. The mechanical behavior of these materials during forming processes is complex and still ill-understood. This work aimed to investigate experimentally the mechanical behavior of a carbon paste used in the aluminum industry under different loading conditions. For this purpose, experiments consisting of (1) relaxation tests at different compaction levels, (2) quasi-static cyclic tests at several amplitudes, (3) monotonic compaction tests at varied strain rates, and (4) vibrocompaction tests at different frequencies were carried out. The obtained results highlight some fundamental aspects of the carbon paste behavior such as the strain rate’s effect on the paste compressibility, the hardening-softening behavior under cyclic loadings, the effect of cycling amplitude on the stress state and the paste densification, and the frequency effect on the vibrocompaction process. These results pave the way for the development of reliable rheological models for the modeling and the numerical simulation of carbon pastes forming processes.

This paper describes a new extension of the linear matching method (LMM) for the direct evaluation of cyclic behavior with creep effects of structures subjected to a general load condition in the steady cyclic state, with the new implementation of the cyclic hardening model and time hardening creep constitutive model. A benchmark example of a Bree cylinder and a more complicated three-dimensional (3D) plate with a center hole subjected to cyclic thermal load and constant mechanical load are analyzed to verify the applicability of the new LMM to deal with the creep fatigue damage. For both examples, the stabilized cyclic responses for different loading conditions and dwell time periods are obtained and validated. The effects of creep behavior on the cyclic responses are investigated. The new LMM procedure provides a general purpose technique, which is able to generate both the closed and nonclosed hysteresis loops depending upon the applied load condition, providing details of creep strain and plastic strain range for creep and fatigue damage assessments with creep fatigue interaction.

Abstract Radar is currently employed in automotive applications to provide the range, angle, and velocity of objects using RF waves (77GHz). This paper outlines solder joint reliability of a specific micro-processor that processes data received from a SRR (short range radar operating from 0.2 to 30 meters). It is a powerful digital signal processing accelerator, which targets safety applications that require a high Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL-B). The paper explores the package design and construction, SMT (surface mount technology) assembly, and board level reliability testing of various BGA pad surface finish and solder ball alloy materials on a 0.65 mm pitch, 10 × 10 mm body 141 MAPBGA (mold array process-ball grid array) package. The package configurations include two BGA pad surface finishes (Ni/Au and OSP [organic solderability protectant]) and three solder alloys (SnAg, SAC405, and SAC-Bi [a Bi containing SAC derivative]). Solder joint reliability analysis was performed through AATS (air-to-air thermal shock) between 40°C and +125°C and JEDEC Drop Testing at 1500G's. Thermal shock was extended until at least 75% of the populations failed, which was well past the points needed to qualify the packages for the intended end-use applications. The evaluations of the micro-processor indicate that the MAPBGA package can meet the ASIL-B specification requirements with optimized combinations of BGA pad surface finish and solder alloy. The focus of this paper was to determine the baseline solder-joint thermal shock and JEDEC drop performance with varied BGA pad surface finish and solder ball alloy materials.

In this work, we are interested in examining the strain rate effect on the mechanical behavior of Ni–Ti superelastic wires after hydrogen charging and ageing for 24 h. Specimens underwent 50 cycles of loading-unloading, reaching an imposed deformation of 7.6%. During loading, strain rates from 10−4 s−1 to 10−2 s−1 were achieved. With a strain rate of 10−2 s−1, the specimens were charged by hydrogen for 6 h and aged for one day showed a superelastic behavior marked by an increase in the residual deformation as a function of the number of cycles. In contrast, after a few number of cycles with a strain rate of 10−4 s−1, the Ni-Ti alloy archwire specimens fractured in a brittle manner during the martensite transformation stage. The thermal desorption analysis showed that, for immersed specimens, the desorption peak of hydrogen appeared at 320 °C. However, after annealing the charged specimens by hydrogen at 400 °C for 1 h, an embrittlement took place at the last cycles for the lower strain rates of 10−4 s−1. The present study suggests that the embrittlement can be due to the development of an internal stress in the subsurface of the parent phase during hydrogen charging and due to the creation of cracks and local zones of plasticity after desorption.

Deformation measurements with a thermocouple were applied in a deformation test of solder joints. The thermocouple is effectively combined with a conventional testing machine. The lead–solder and non–lead solder joints were pulled and sheared. The load-displacement and electromotive force (Emf)–displacement curves can be continuously derived from the signals of a load cell and the thermocouple. The Emfs in tension were compared with that in shear. The maximum Emf value in tension was larger than the emf value in shear, which meant in weakness of the solder joint in shear. Fracture occurred at the interface between the copper layer pad and solder, and the obtained Emf is closely related to fracture at the interface. The maximum Emf value in the non-lead solder was smaller than the Emf value in the lead–solder.

Austenitic stainless steel was cycled at a series of temperatures in the interval from 296 K to 113 K. Constant plastic strain amplitude loading at different levels of plastic strain amplitude and testing similar to multiple step test method were applied at different temperatures. The stress amplitude was continually recorded and selected hysteresis loops were stored and later analyzed using statistical theory of the hysteresis loop. Effective stress component and probability density function as a function of temperature were evaluated. The results were discussed in terms of the temperature dependence of the cyclic yield stress and its sources.
