Through the analysis of a model problem, a thin elastic plate bonded to an elastic foundation, we address several issues related to the miniature bulge test for measuring the energy-release rate associated with the interfacial fracture of a bimaterial system, where one of the constituents is a thin foil. These issues include the effect of the substrate compliance on the interpretation of the energy release rate, interfacial strength, and the identification of the boundary of the deforming bulge or the location of the interfacial crack front. The analysis also suggests a way for measuring the so-called foundation modulus, which characterizes the property of the substrate. An experimental example, a stainless steel thin foil bonded to an aluminum substrate through hot-isostatic-pressing (HIP), is used to illustrate and highlight some of the conclusions of the model analysis.

Delamination is a particularly dangerous damage mode of high performance laminated composites. In order to describe the composites ductile cracking and its progressive evolution accurately, the adjusted exponential cohesive zone model (CZM) is adopted, which correlates the tensile traction with the corresponding interfacial separation along the fracturing interfacial zone. At first the adjusted exponential CZM is used to simulate the mode I delamination of the standard double cantilever beam (DCB). The simulated results are in good agreement with the corrected beam theory and the corresponding experimental results. Then in order to research how the interfacial properties influence the mode I fracture, the interfacial strength and the critical energy release rate are studied. The main results are obtained as follows. The interfacial strength plays a crucial role in the laminated composites delamination onset, and it affects the peak load significantly if there is not a pre-crack. Once the delamination propagation begins to occur in the laminated composites, the responses of the load-displacement plots are relatively insensitive to the interfacial strength, and only the critical energy release rate is of critical importance. Furthermore, the peak load increases with the increase of the critical energy release rate and interfacial strength.

Kinking of a plane strain crack out of an interface between the two dissimilar isotropic elastic materials is analyzed. Analysis is focused on the initiation of kinking and thus the segment of the crack leaving the interface is imagined to be short compared to the segment in the interface. The analysis provides the stress intensity factors and energy release rate of the kinked cracks in terms of the corresponding quantities for the interfacial crack. The energy release rate is enhanced if the crack heads into the more compliant material and is diminished if the crack kinks into the stiff material.

In order to study whether the interfacial crack will grow or not in the composite laminates, the energy release rate of a crack in three-point bending model was obtained by using the Timoshenko beam theory and local generalized forces. The results of energy release rate were validated by the finite element results. The results indicate that the energy release rate of left crack tip is equal to that of the right crack tip when the crack before the crack goes cross the loading point; after the crack goes cross the loading point, the energy release rate of the left crack tip increases and then decreases gradually, while the energy release rate of right crack tip decreases first and increases later; the energy release rate of left crack tip is equal to that of the right crack tip again when the crack is symmetric with the loading point.

Experiment has been conducted to measure the solubility Csat of mold compound and to obtain the moisture weight loss curves at various temperature. Moisture desorption modeling has been conducted to calculate the moisture diffusivity for desorption D(T) by matching with the experimental results. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has also been conducted to calculate the transient development of strain energy release rate (ERR) at the interfacial crack tip due to thermal stress only (Gt), hygrostress only (Gh), and the combined effect (Gtotal) during solder reflow. ERR is computed based on the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT). It is found that Gh is significantly smaller than Gt, however the effect of hygrostress significantly increases the total strain energy release rate when combined with the thermal effect. The maximum Gtotal occurs at the peak of the solder reflow profile. The effects of crack size and geometrical parameters have been studied. The result imply that the interfacial crack is unstable and has a high tendency of growing to a significant extent. ERR is strongly influenced by the thickness of the package while length between the edge of die and pad has a moderate affect on the ERR.

The energy release rate for propagation of a debond in a single-fibre pull out test was derived analytically. The key finding was that an accurate analysis can be derived by a global energy analysis that includes effects of residual stresses and interfacial friction but does not need to include the details of the stress state at the interfacial crack tip. By comparison to finite elements analysis, it was verified that the analytical results are very accurate provided the debond tip is not too close to either end of the specimen. By casting the results in terms of net-specimen stress, it was possible to derive a general energy release rate result that applies to both the pull-out test and the related microbond test. The energy release rate expressions can be used to determine interfacial fracture toughness from single-fibre pull-out tests or microbond tests.

Multi-layer structures are common in electronic package especially for the micro devices manufactured via the semi-conductor processes or MEMS processes. Interfacial crack due to the delamination significantly weakens the multi-layer structure. It is desired to understand the interfacial fracture properties of the electronic packaging materials. In this research, three specimens named Doubled Cantilever Beam (DCB), End-Notched Flexure (ENF), and Four-Point-Bending are proposed to investigate the fracture toughness associated with mode I, mode II and mixed mode. Basing on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the strain energy in a bi-layer beam is derived. The strain energy before and after the propagation of the interfacial crack are calculated, lead to the determination of the strain energy release rate. The analytical results of strain energy release rate derived in this investigation are compared with the numerical results obtained from finite element method. The effects of material properties and thickness between the adjacent layers of interfacial crack are examined through the parametric study.

In this paper is considered a problem of the semi-infinite crack at the interface between the two elastic isotropic layers in conditions of the environmental temperature change. The energy release rate needed for the crack growth along the interface was determined, for the case when the two-layered sample is cooled from the temperature of the layers joining down to the room temperature. It was noticed that the energy release rate increases with the temperature difference increase. In the paper is also presented the distribution of stresses in layers as a function of the temperature and the layers? thickness variations. Analysis is limited to the case when the bimaterial sample is exposed to uniform temperature.
