Mechanics of Solder Alloy Interconnects [Hardcover]

The Mechanics of Solder Alloy Interconnects is a resource to be used in developing a solder joint reliability assessment. Each chapter is written to be used as a stand-alone resource for a particular aspect of materials and modeling issues. With this gained understanding, the reader in search of a solution to a solder joint reliability problem knows where in the materials and modeling communities to go for the appropriate answer.Foreword; Acknowldgement; Introduction: the mechanics of soldere alloy interconnect; Microstructural influences on the mechanical properties of solder; Interfaces and intermetallics; Constitutivemodels; Prediction of solder joint geometry; Life prediction and accelerated testing; Thermomechanical modeling of solder joints - numerical considerations; Applications - through-hole; Surface mount solder joints under thermal, mechanical, and vibration conditions; Index
