To give a proper and accurate estimation of the fatigue life of ball grid array (BGA) solder joints, a mechanical fatigue test method under mixed-mode loading is proposed. Experiments were conducted with 63Sn∕37Pb and Sn∕3.5Ag∕0.75Cu solder joints in room temperature. The mechanical low cycle fatigue tests were performed under several loading angles. The loading angle is controlled by several grips which have specific surface angle to the loading direction. Constant displacement controlled tests are performed using a micro-mechanical test apparatus. It was found that the normal deformation significantly affects the fatigue life of the solder joint. Throughout the whole test conditions at room temperature, Sn∕3.5Ag∕0.75Cu solder alloy had longer fatigue life than 63Sn∕37Pb alloy. Failure patterns of the fatigue tests were observed and discussed. A morrow energy model was examined and found to be a proper low cycle fatigue model for solder joints under mixed mode loading condition.

Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) are effective energy dissipation devices. The key advantages of BRB are its comparable tensile and compressive behavior and stable energy dissipation capacity. In this paper, low-cycle fatigue performance of domestic BRBs is obtained based on collected experimental data under constant and variable amplitude loadings. The results show that the relationship between fatigue life and strain amplitude satisfies the Mason-Coffin equation. By adopting theory of structural reliability, this paper presents several allowable fatigue life curves with different confidential levels. Besides, Palmgren-Miner method was used for calculating BRB cumulative damages. An allowable damage factor with 95% confidential level is put forward for assessing damage under variable amplitude fatigue. In addition, this paper presents an empirical criterion with rain flow algorithm, which may be used to predict the fracture of BRBs under severe earthquakes and provide theory and method for their engineering application. Finally, the conclusions of the paper were vilified through precise yet conservative prediction of the fatigue failure of BRB.
