AbstractThe increasing demands on solder joints have made it imperative that they perform not only their traditional role of electrical connection but also possess good mechanical integrity. One such key mechanical property is the shear strength of the solder. A number of specimen geometries can be used to evaluate the shear strength of solders, each with its advantages and limitations. However, these geometries do not provide information about the notched fracture strength of the solder under shear. Studies on a number of ductile materials have indicated that in many of these materials shear is the preferential mode of fracture even when the imposed load is a combination of tensile and shear. This study, which is part of a larger project on the failure of materials under combined tensile-shear loading, uses a modified compact tension specimen to measure the appropriate failure criterion. It is shown that the fracture of solders under these conditions follows the general principles of a mixedmode fracture mechanism map and shear is the preferred mode of failure.

ABSTRACTThe increasing demands on solder joints have made it imperative that they perform not only their traditional role of electrical connection but also possess good mechanical integrity. One such key mechanical property is the shear strength of the solder. A number of specimen geometries can be used to evaluate the shear strength of solders, each with its advantages and limitations. This study uses a modified double lap shear geometry to measure the shear strength of the solders as a function of strain rate. It is ahown that the shear strength measured this way is truly reflective of the complex composite formed by the copper, solder and intermetallics and may be more representative of actual conditions of use rather than measurements of the shear strengths of the bulk solder. The study also uses a modified compact tension specimen to measure the fracture of the solder under combined tensile-shear loading conditions. It is shown that the solder fracture under these conditions follows the general principles of a mixed-mode fracture mechanism map.

The effects of sulfur content on the fracture toughness properties of 2 1/4Cr-1 Mo steel were evaluated at test temperatures above, at, and below the nil ductility transition temperature (NDTT) of −23°C (−10°F). Small, 12.7-mm (0.5-in.) thick compact tension specimen results were combined with J-integral, Equivalent Energy, and Crack Opening Displacement analytical techniques to provide KIc results up to 22°C (72°F). It was found that the sulfur content of this steel has a large detrimental effect on KIc at the NDTT and above, where microvoid coalescence is the fracture mode. Sulfur has no significant effect at −73°C (−100°F) where cleavage occurs. These results also indicate that the higher Charpy V-notch energy at NDTT, shown by lower sulfur steels, is translatable into increased fracture resistance.

The matching of constraint between laboratory specimens and actual cracked structures is a key problem of the accurate structure integrity assessment. Different laboratory specimens and the steam turbine blade with different constraints were selected, the matching of constraint between steam turbine blade and laboratory specimens was investigated. The results shown that the steam turbine blade with 2 c = 50 mm, a/2 c = 0.20 has a matching constraint with single edge-notched bend specimen with a/ W = 0.6 and single edge-notched tensile specimen with a/ W = 0.3. The steam turbine blade with 2 c = 50 mm, a/2 c = 0.25 has a matching constraint with single edge-notched bend specimen with a/ W = 0.7. The steam turbine blade with 2 c = 50 mm, a/2 c = 0.30 has a matching constraint with single edge-notched bend specimen with a/ W = 0.5 and single edge-notched tensile specimen with a/ W = 0.1. The steam turbine blade with 2 c = 50 mm, a/2 c = 0.35 has a matching constraint with single edge-notched bend specimen with a/ W = 0.4, compact tension specimen with a/ W = 0.3 and central-cracked tension specimen with a/ W = 0.7. The steam turbine blade with a = 15 mm, a/2 c = 0.30 has a matching constraint with compact tension specimen with a/ W = 0.7 and single edge-notched tensile specimen with a/ W = 0.5. The steam turbine blade with a = 15 mm, a/2 c = 0.40 has a matching constraint with compact tension specimen with a/ W = 0.4. The steam turbine blade with a = 15 mm, a/2 c = 0.50 has a matching constraint with single edge-notched bend specimen with a/ W = 0.5.
