This paper is part of an ongoing effort to develop a test methodology to examine the durability of surface mount interconnects under impact loading conditions. Literature indicates that as the drop height is increased, there is a transition in the failure site from the ductile solder to the brittle intermetallic. Not much work has been done to understand this phenomenon. This study considers damage accumulated in the interconnects in terms of the local strain in the printed wiring assembly (PWA), local strain rate and component acceleration. The advantage is that the results are less dependant on structure and loading, because damage is quantified in terms of specimen response rather than the loading. A simple test specimen is fabricated to concentrate the study on interconnect failure mechanisms. An instrumented, repeatable test setup is developed to conduct high speed bend tests and drop tests on the specimen. All tests are replicated twice for proof of consistency of the test data. The paper presents the results of the high speed bend tests. As expected, the durability of the specimen decreases monotonically with PWA strain. On the other hand, the durability first increases and then decreases as the PWA strain rate increases. Failure analysis shows a transition in the failure site from solder to intermetallic. It is hypothesized that for a given package design, the rate dependent material properties determine the partitioning of the strain energy of deformation. Yield stress of the solder and fracture toughness of the intermetallic are identified as the key parameters. More tests are needed to understand this rate dependent strain energy partitioning. The end goal is to develop a consistent, accurate and generic methodology for ranking the impact durability of different surface mount interconnects technologies.

Abstract In an effort to understand the dynamic hub forces on road vehicles, an advanced free-rolling tire-model is being developed in which the tread blocks and tire belt are modeled separately. This paper presents the interim results for the tread block modeling. The finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit is used to predict the contact forces on the tread blocks based on a linear viscoelastic material model. Special attention is paid to investigating the forces on the tread blocks during the impact and release motions. A pressure and slip-rate-dependent frictional law is applied in the analysis. A simplified numerical model is also proposed where the tread blocks are discretized into linear viscoelastic spring elements. The results from both models are validated via experiments in a high-speed rolling test rig and found to be in good agreement.

A dynamic loop test method for measuring strain rate-dependent fiber properties was developed. During dynamic loop testing, the fiber ends are accelerated at constant levels of 20.8, 50 and 343 m/s2. The test method is used to study Kevlar® KM2-600, which fails in axial compression due to kink band formation. The compressive failure strain and strain rate at the onset of kink band formation is calculated from the critical loop diameter ( D C), which is monitored throughout the test using a high-speed camera. The results showed that compressive failure strain increases with strain rates from quasi-static to a maximum strain rate of 116 s−1 by a factor of ∼3. Kink angles (φ) and kink band spacing ( D S) were 60 ° ± 2 ° and 16 ± 3 μm, respectively, over the strain rates tested. Rate-dependent mechanisms of compressive failure by kink band formation were discussed.

In this paper, rate-dependent cohesive zone model was established to numerical simulate the fracture process of soda-lime glass under impact loading. Soda-lime glass is widely used in architecture and automobile industry due to its transparency. To improve the accuracy of fracture simulation of soda-lime glass under impact loading, strain rate effect was taken into consideration and a rate-dependent cohesive zone model was established. Tensile-shear mixed mode fracture was also taken account. The rate-dependent cohesive zone model was implemented in the commercial finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit with the user subroutine VUMAT. The fracture behavior of a monolithic glass plate impacted by a hemispherical impactor was simulated. The simulation results demonstrated that the rate-dependent cohesive zone model is more suitable to describe the impact failure characteristics of a monolithic glass plate, compared to cohesive zone model without consideration of strain rate. Moreover, the effect of the strain rate sensitivity coefficient C, the mesh size of glass plate and the impact velocity on the fracture characteristics were studied.

Investigation of the impact behaviour of Hadfield steel has been carried out in a broad range of strain rates from 10−3 to 9 × 103s−1 by means of a servo-hydraulic machine and a compressive split Hopkinson bar. The effects of strain rate on the impact properties, substructure evolution and fracture resistance have been evaluated. The observed stress-strain response is influenced greatly by strain rate, resulting in obvious changes of work hardening rate, strain rate sensitivity and activation volume. This rate-dependent behaviour is in good agreement with model predictions using the Zerilli-Armstrong constitutive law. Dislocation tangle and deformation twin substructures are also found to develop as a function of strain rate. Increasing dislocation and twin densities enhance the work hardening rate and flow strength. Catastrophic failure at high rates results from the formation of localized shear bands. With increasing strain rate, there is an increase in brittle cleavage microfracture, resulting in ductility loss. Microcracking initiates at grain boundaries due to the presence of carbide precipitates.

A noncontact optical system using high speed image analysis to measure local tissue deformations and axial strains along skeletal muscle is described. The spatial resolution of the system was 20 pixels/cm and the accuracy was ±0.125mm. In order to minimize the error associated with discrete data used to characterize a continuous strain field, the displacement data were fitted with a third order polynomial and the fitted data differentiated to measure surface strains using a Lagrangian finite strain formulation. The distribution of axial strain along the muscle-tendon unit was nonuniform and rate dependent. Despite a variation in local strain distribution with strain rate, the maximum axial strain, Exx = 0.614 ± 0.045 mm/mm, was rate insensitive and occurred at the failure site for all tests. The frequency response of the video system (1000 Hz) and the measurement of a continuous strain field along the entire length of the structure improve upon previous noncontact optical systems for measurement of surface strains in soft tissues.

An experimental study on energy absorption capabilities and strain rate sensitivity of ordnance gelatine was performed. Strain energy density under quasi static compression and moderate strain rate impact tests was compared. In the study two types of material were tested, bulk ordnance gelatine and polymeric open-cell meshwork filled with ordnance gelatine. From the results a significant strain-rate effect was observed in terms of ultimate compressive strength and strain energy density. In comparison of the deformation behaviour under quasi static conditions and drop weight test the difference was very significant, however slight increase in both strength and strain energy density was observed even between different impact energies and velocities during the impact testing. The peak acceleration was significantly reduced in polymer meshwork filled by gelatine in comparison to the bulk gelatine.

Abstract Foam pads are commonly used in sports and military helmet for energy absorption, form-fitting and comfort. Both for low velocity and high velocity applications, their rate-dependent mechanical properties need to be characterized to understand their ability to effectively modulate the transmitted stress pulse. Impact experiments were conducted on bilayer helmet pads at a range of velocities covering low to medium rates up to ∼7000/s. Images from high-speed camera were used to construct x-T diagrams to measure the shock speeds from the impact experiments. Numerical simulations were carried out to validate a foam pad model and to understand experimental uncertainties. The scatter in the measured shock speeds was found to be related to the scatter in the material properties.

The mechanical behavior of two composites, i.e., CF3031/QY8911 (CQ, hereafter in this paper) and EW100A/BA9916 (EB, hereafter in this paper), under dynamic loadings were carefully studied by using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The results show that compressive strength of CQ increases with increasing strain-rates, while for EB the compressive strength at strain-rate 1500/s is lower then that at 800/s or 400/s. More interestingly, most of the stress strain curves of both of the two composites are not monotonous but exhibit double-peak shape. To identify this unusual phenominon, a high speed photographic system is introduced. The deformation as well as fracture characteristics of the composites under dynamic loadings were captured. The photoes indicate that two different failure mechanisms work during dynamic fracture process. The first one is axial splitting between the fiber and the matrix and the second one is overall shear. The interficial strength between the fiber and matrix, which is also strain rate dependent, determines the fracture modes and the shape of the stress/strain curves.

The tensile behavior of fiber metal laminates consisting of layers of aluminum 2024-T3 alloy and glass fiber reinforced composites under high strain rate loading is investigated. Fiber metal laminates having four different layups, but all having the same total metal layer thickness, were fabricated using a combined hand lay-up cum vacuum bagging method. The fiber metal laminate specimens were loaded in high strain rate tension using a split Hopkinson tensile bar. The rate-dependent behavior of the glass fiber composite was also obtained as baseline data. The strain on the gage area of the specimen was measured directly using high-speed digital image correlation. Another high-speed camera was used to capture the sequence of damage by viewing the specimen edgewise. The results indicated that the strength of the fiber metal laminates increased at high strain rates primarily due to the rate-dependent behavior of the composite used. The response was also influenced by the distribution of the metallic layers in the fiber metal laminates. The failure in the case where the individual composite layers were separated by metallic layers was more progressive in nature.
