Fracture of Lead-Free Solder Joints As A Function of Strain Rate, Local End Geometry and Thickness
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT The fracture of SAC305 solder was investigated as a function of strain rate using Cu-solder-Cu double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens joined with a series of 2 mm long discrete solder joints of 150 m thickness. The joints were then fractured with various strain rates under mode I and mixed-mode loading conditions. The failure of each joint in the DCB was accompanied by a sharp drop in the applied load. These maximum loads were used to calculate the initiation critical strain energy release rate, G ci , of the solder joints using a finite element model. The results showed a substantial increase of about 75% in the solder joint fracture toughness at strain rates of 0.05 to 1 s -1 compared to that under quasi-static loading conditions. This trend suggests that the solder G ci increases rapidly with strain rate whereas the G ci of the IMC is relatively independent of strain rate. Negligible changes in G ci were measured when the solder joint thickness was increased to 400 m. The dependence of crack initiation on the local shape of the solder joint at its end was investigated by fabricating the 2 mm long joints with either a square end (using Kapton tape) or a rounded end (using an embedded wire). Interestingly, these two local geometries produced almost identical values of G ci , suggesting that initiation was not a strong function of the shape of the solder joint.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
