In this study, an analytical model to obtain a closed-form solution for thermomechanical behaviours of BGA (Ball Grid Array) package was derived and experimentally validated. In the theoretical analysis, the BGA package was represented by a three-layer axisymmetrical model: two layers of dissimilar materials jointed by a graded interlayer. Based on the classical bending theory, the thermal stresses induced by temperature changes were calculated accurately. 2-D FE (Finite Element) meshes of BGA packages subjected to high temperature were used to verify the theoretical solutions. Furthermore, two types of BGA samples, each with eutectic (63wt%Sn/37wt%Pb) and Pb-free SAC387 (95.5wt%Sn/3.8wt%Ag/0.7wt%Cu) solder joints respectively, were experimentally investigated by high resolution Moire´ Interferometry (MI). Thermal cycling tests were performed on each package with temperature variation from 25°C to 125°C. It was found that the thermal deformation obtained from moire´ tests matched well with those from analytical solutions and FE analyses. Based on the shear strain values, the reliability characteristics of BGA assemblies were also assessed.

Closed form solution is obtained for stresses in a rotationally symmetric, nonhomogeneous, anisotropic, annular disk of varying thickness and density, subjected to thermal loading. Analysis is presented for a particular type of anisotropy, namely Polar Orthotropy, in which axes of anisotropy coincide with the principal axes of stresses at each point in the disk. The variations of homogenity, density and thickness are assumed to be hyperbolic. Numerical results in the form of graphs presented show the effect of nonhomogenity, density and degree of orthotropy on the stress distribution in a disk subjected to constant and varying temperature gradients. Homogeneous, varying density anisotropic rotating disk of varying thickness forms a special case of the analysis.

Cracks have been observed in the insulating glass of bridge-wire initiators that may allow moisture to penetrate the assembly, potentially leading to the corrosion and degradation of the bridge wire and the pyrotechnic material. Degradation of the pyrotechnic or the bridge wire may result in initiator failure or diminished performance. The goal of this research is to determine if the manufacturing processes could produce thermal stresses great enough to crack the glass. A parametric plane stress closed-form solution was used to determine the effects of changing material properties and dimensions of the initiator, and to determine potential stresses within the initiator from two different manufacturing scenarios. To verify and expand the plane stress closed-form solution, a two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element analysis was performed. To reproduce the two manufacturing scenarios, lumped models and models that included the effects of cooling the initiator were used. Both models showed that if the manufacturing process involves pouring molten glass into the initiator, the potential for cracking exists. Furthermore, if the surface of the initiator cools faster than the center, cracking is more likely.

Analytical model based on the Bernoulli beam theory and strain compatibility conditions at the interfaces between the two layers have been developed to predict the distribution of thermal stresses within the multi-layered structure due to the mismatch of thermal expansion. The closed-form solution of thermal stresses related to the material properties and geometry were obtained. It is useful to provide a simple and efficient analytical model, so that the stress level in the layers can be accurately estimated. The analytical results are compared with finite element results. Good agreement demonstrates that the proposed approach is able to provide an efficient way for the calculation of the thermal stresses.

This technical note shows that the determination of the stresses induced in multi-metal beams by temperature changes reduces to solving a linear system of equations. This system of equations has a very particular structure that allows one to obtain a closed form solution easily.

An accurate estimate of thermal stresses in multilayered microelectronics structures along the bonded interfaces is crucial for design and prediction of delamination-related failures. Compared with a numerical method, analytical closed-form solution can offer a more rapid method to obtain the stresses at the interfaces. An analytical model for ply-level sub-laminate analysis is investigated in this paper. The theory presented treats each layer as a beam-type plate with orthotropic material properties. As an example, the results are shown for a three-layer beam problem with special orthotropic material properties. Analytical model results are compared with the finite element analysis results, as a first order approximation.

The well-known, closed-form solution to thermal stresses of a die-substrate assembly is initially provided by Suhir in the mid-1980’s after Timoshenko [1] and Chen and Nelson [2]. It has been revised several times in its die attach (adhesive) peel solution by Suhir [3][4], and Mishkevich and Suhir [5]. However, there still exist some controversies and inconsistencies regarding die stresses, die attach shear and peel stresses, and warpage (deformation) of the assembly. In the study, Suhir’s derivation of the solution is closely examined in details, and the corrections to the solution are suggested and verified by comparing with the finite element results. It is shown that, unlike the original Suhir solution, the corrected one gives very good prediction of thermal stresses and deformations of die-substrate assembly. The limitation of the Suhir solution is also discussed in this study.

Thermal stresses in an inwardly solidifying sphere are studied analytically. A closed-form solution is given which accounts for thermal expansion associated with temperature gradients and volume changes associated with phase transition. Consistent with the target application of cryopreservation of biological solutions and tissues, the material is modeled as elastic-perfectly plastic. Parametric studies using appropriate material properties and typical cryopreservation protocols suggest that strains associated with phase transition lead to far higher stresses than those associated with thermal expansion, with important implications for cryopreservation procedures.
