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.

Kinking of a plane strain crack out of the interface between two dissimilar isotropic elastic solids is analyzed. The focus is 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. Accordingly, the analysis provides the stress intensity factors and energy release rate of the kinked crack in terms of the corresponding quantities for the interface crack prior to kinking. Roughly speaking, the energy release rate is enhanced if the crack heads into the more compliant material and is diminished if it kinks into the stiff material. The results suggest a tendency for a crack to be trapped in the interface irrespective of the loading when the compliant material is tough and the stiff material is at least as tough as the interface.

A kinked interfacial crack under out-of-plane shear is analyzed where a straight interfacial crack is kinked into material 1 out of the interface. Employing the Wiener- Hopf technique, the solution is obtained in a closed form. Discontinuity in the stress intensity factor as the kink angle to approaches zero is found, while the energy release rate is shown to be continuous at ω = 0. The limit case of the kinked length b approaching zero is also investigated. The result shows that the stress field has 1/r singularity and the energy release rate at b = 0+ is enhanced at some ω if the crack kinks into the more compliant material.

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.

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.
