Board-level reliability of conventional Sn-37Pb and Pb-free Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder joints was evaluated using thermal shock testing. In the microstructural investigation of the solder joints, the formation of Cu6Sn5 intermetallic compound (IMC) layer was observed between both solders and Cu lead frame, but any crack or newly introduced defect cannot be found even after 2000 cycles of thermal shocks. Shear test of the multi layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) joints were also conducted to investigate the effect of microstructural variations on the bonding strength of the solder joints. Shear forces of the both solder joints decreased with increasing thermal shock cycles. The reason to the decrease in shear force was discussed with fracture surfaces of the shear tested solder joints.

An approach to obtain analytical closed-form expressions for the macroscopic ‘buckling strength’ of various two-dimensional cellular structures is presented. The method is based on classical beam-column end-moment behaviour expressed in a matrix form. It is applied to sample honeycombs with square, triangular and hexagonal unit cells to determine their buckling strength under a general macroscopic in-plane stress state. The results were verified using finite-element Eigenvalue analysis.

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are promising materials for actuation in space applications, because of the relatively large deformations and forces that they offer. However, their complex behaviour and interaction of several physical domains (electrical, thermal and mechanical), the study of SMA behaviour is a challenging field. Present work aims at correlating the Finite Element (FE) analysis of SMA with closed form solutions and experimental data. Though sufficient literature is available on closed form solution of SMA, not much detail is available on the Finite element Analysis. In the present work an attempt is made for characterization of SMA through solving the governing equations by established closed form solution, and finally correlating FE results with these data. Extensive experiments were conducted on 0.3mm diameter NiTinol SMA wire at various temperatures and stress conditions and these results were compared with FE analysis conducted using MSC.Marc. A comparison of results from finite element analysis with the experimental data exhibits fairly good agreement.

Underground structures in shales or shaly rocks endure time-dependent swelling effects. Laboratory test results show that the swelling of these shales is dependent on three-dimensional stresses; an external stress on a specimen in one principal direction reduces the swelling not only in that direction but also perpendicularly. The effectiveness of a time-dependent swelling model that considers the three-dimensional stress effect is presented in this paper. A finite element algorithm incorporating the new constitutive model is used for a numerical analysis. The finite element program is used to analyze two tunnels in southern Ontario: the Heart Lake storm sewer tunnel, and the Darlington cold-water intake tunnel. The predicted results agree well with the records of field performance of these tunnels. The comparison between present analyses and the existing closed-form solution shows that the existing solution overestimates the time-dependent swelling effects. The three-dimensional stress effects on swelling are not considered in the closed-form solutions and are the cause of this discrepancy. The pseudo-Poisson's effect is a key parameter for modelling the observed time-dependent swelling. The use of these solutions in design is discussed.Key words: time-dependent swelling, shale, modelling, three-dimensional stress effect, finite element method, tunnel.
