A pendulum-impact testing machine was developed to measure the impact strength of ball-grid-array (BGA) solder joints between an electronic package and a circuit board. Ball solders were connected to daisy-chain between a dummy electronic package and a circuit board. The upper side of the package was directly bonded to a load cell. The rear side of the circuit board was also bonded to an aluminum alloy block fixed on a base. A pendulum made of aluminum alloy was collided into the load cell to apply tensile impact to the solder joints through the load cell. The history of the impact load could be controlled by raising the angle of the pendulum. The fracture of a BGA solder joint was detected by measuring the resistance of the daisy-chain circuit on the board. Therefore, the impact strengths of the solder joints at electrical disconnection and mechanical breaking of all joints could be determined. The experimental results showed that this method is useful for measuring the impact strength of BGA solder joints.

Abstract Studies described in this paper relate to common grades of cast corrosion resistant Cr-Ni steel with different matrix. The test materials were subjected to heat treatment, which consisted in the solution annealing at 1060°C followed by cooling in water. The conducted investigations, besides the microstructural characteristics of selected cast steel grades, included the evaluation of hardness, toughness (at a temperature of -40 and +20oC) and type of fracture obtained after breaking the specimens on a Charpy impact testing machine. Based on the results of the measured volume fraction of ferrite, it has been found that the content of this phase in cast austenitic steel is 1.9%, while in the two-phase ferritic-austenitic grades it ranges from 50 to 58%. It has been demonstrated that within the scope of conducted studies, the cast steel of an austenitic structure is characterised by higher impact strength than the two-phase ferritic-austenitic (F-A) grade. The changing appearance of the fractures of the specimens reflected the impact strength values obtained in the tested materials. Fractures of the cast austenitic Cr-Ni steel obtained in these studies were of a ductile character, while fractures of the cast ferritic-austenitic grade were mostly of a mixed character with the predominance of brittle phase and well visible cleavage planes.

<p class="Abstract">The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles as resin concentrate on mechanical strength. The tested mechanical strength is Bending strength, Impact Strength, and Microhardenest Strength. The types of resin used in this study were acrylic resin without conventional modification and acrylic resin with an additional 0.01 gr and 0.06 gr of TiO2. Specimen dimensions are made revered to ISO 20795-1 (2008) standard specifications. Mechanical strength was determined by using the universal testing machine, Izod pendulum impact testing machine, and also Vickers microhardness tester. From the analysis, the researcher found that the bending strength of resin acrylic was greatly decreased by increasing the TiO2 concentration. It happens in both TiO2 0.01gr and 0.06gr of acrylic resin compared to the non TiO2 resin. The impact strength of 0.01gr TiO2 acrylic resin was significantly increased compared to non TiO2 acrylic resin. But on the other hand for 0.06gr acrylic resin, impact strength was decreased and recorded the lowest impact strength. The highest Micro hardness strength was found in 0.06gr TiO2, It is significantly increased compared to 0.01gr TiO2 and 0gr TiO2. The general conclusion is, adding 0.01gr TiO2 nanoparticles as concentrated into acrylic resin can significantly increase the bending strength, bending strength, and microhardness strength. Meanwhile, adding 0.06gr Tio2 nanoparticles as concentrated into acrylic resin can only increase the bending strength and the microhardness strength, but not for its impact strength.</p>

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mechanical properties of kevlar fiber and jute fiber reinforcement. Nowadays the composite materials are widely used materials. Having wide range of applications due to its light weight, high strength and low cost. These composite materials are now being explored in applications of aerospace and automotive industries. In the present work, the composite material is prepared with intermediate aramid fabric layer (Kevlar) which is high strength fiber and it is combined with jute fabric reinforced epoxy composite to increase the strength of kevlar. This composite material is tested for mechanical properties like flexural, tensile & impact strength are calculated with UTM (universal testing machine) for flexural, tensile tests and impact testing is done with impact testing machine. Through this test results the impact strength of the composite material is calculated. The energy dissipation by impact test of jute and kevlar fabric composite and strength of fibers will be analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Thermo gravity analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) is carried out. Through these test results it can conclude that the jute can be combined with the kevlar where the impact is primary considerations like bulletproof vests, automobile bodies, tyres etc. The usage of jute in all kevlar applications will increase the strength of kevlar by reducing the usage of Kevlar and cost will be minimized.

In this study, the effects of temperature and impactor nose diameter on the impact behavior of woven glass-reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) and polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic composites were investigated experimentally. Impact energies are chosen as 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110, 130, and 170 J. The thickness of composite materials is 4 mm. Impact tests were performed using a drop weight impact testing machine, CEAST-Fractovis Plus, and the load capacity of test machine is 22 kN. Hemispherical impactor nose diameter of 12, 7, and 20 mm were used as an impactor. The tests are conducted at room temperature (20°C and 75°C). As a result, the PP composites of the same thickness absorbed more energy than PA6 composites. The amount of absorbed energy of PP and PA6 composites decreased with temperature.

The impact specimens with different hydrogen contents were solution treated at 540±3°C for 12h; water quenched at 60-100°C; and aged at 165±1°C for 6h. The impact test was carried out at Roell450 pendulum impact testing machine. The impact test results show that the impact energy has strong relation with the hydrogen content. The total absorption energy increases with the increasing of hydrogen content. The crack propagation energy Avp and present larger proportion than the initial crack energy Avi in the total absorption energy Av. The number of the pinholes increases and the pinholes turn from smaller irregular ones into sub-circular shape ones. The specimen with irregular sub-circular pinholes has larger KI, and has more crack propagation resistance.

There are two types of shock loading to which aircraft components are subjected, namely: medium shock loads which can heavily damage equipment; and shocks of high impact, such as those imposed during crash landing, causing the equipment to be torn loose from its mounting, with danger of injury or even death to aircraft personnel.An impact shock machine has been installed recently in a laboratory for studying this important problem. The machine is capable of providing calibrated shock tests up to a maximum peak acceleration of llg, and of simulating the shock loads normally experienced under everyday operating conditions. Apparatus being tested is mounted on a frame bolted rigidly to the table of the impact testing machine, which has been designed to take specimens up to a maximum weight of 400 lb., with maximum overall dimension equivalent to a cube of 30 inches side. A specimen under test is dropped from a maximum height of 5 ft., falling freely.

Fatigue life prediction of solder joints is one of the most important areas of research in the development of reliable electronic packages. Recent trends in electronic package development indicate a shift toward smaller solder joints and larger package sizes, and temperature changes under field conditions are also becoming greater. Since reliability design of solder joints has become severer, the estimation of the crack propagation is becoming important like the estimation of the crack initiation. In the present study, a new method of estimating the crack propagation, which is based on finite element analysis without geometrical crack model, was examined, in order to ensure suitability for practical use in electronic package design. On the basis of a damage model assumed for Sn-37Pb solder, the new method called ‘damage path simulation’ was verified for solder joints in QFP (Quad Flat Package). In the case of solder joints of the gull-wing type, fatigue cracks are commonly initiated from the upper surface of the solder fillet, and propagated in the vicinity of the interface with the outer lead. It was clear that the extension of the damage path showed good agreement with the behavior of crack propagation observed in the actual thermal cycle tests. Damage path extension from a pointed end of outer lead is also simulated simultaneously with that from the upper surface of the solder fillet, and both damage paths were finally combined at a gap between outer lead and printed circuit board. The advantage of the present method is especially evident when the fatigue cracks were initiated from two or more regions. From the results of this study, it was concluded that the estimation of the crack propagation in solder joints based on the present method is satisfactory for engineering purposes.

The goals of the paper are to identify the impact damage and strength reduction behavior of sandwich structure, composed of carbon/epoxy laminates skin and Nomex core with two kinds of thickness (10 and 20mm). For these, low velocity impact tests were conducted using the instrumented impact-testing machine and damages are inspected by SAM. And then, subsequent static tests are conducted under flexural loading to identify the strength reduction behavior of the impacted sandwich structures. The impact damages are mainly delamination in carbon/epoxy skin and their behavior is mostly independent of core thickness. Also, their energy absorbing behavior is identified through calculating the energy absorbed by impact damage. Finally, the strength reduction behavior is evaluated through Caprino’s model, which was proposed on the unidirectional laminates.
