Abstract

The matrix creep failure indicator developed by Shine and Fox is extended to cases when strain is multiaxial and varies with position in the structure. Analysis of a thermal fatigue test of leaded surface mount devices found in the literature illustrates application of the method. A butt joint surface mount configuration is then tested in simple mechanical loading and also analyzed using the finite element method. It is found that the matrix creep “damage integral” method gives good correlation with observed solder fatigue failures for both cases.
