The Effect of CTE Mismatch on Solder Ball in Optoelectronic PackagingLiu, An-Chan 25 July 2003 (has links)
Two subjects are included in this thesis; one is to construct the Coffin-Manson equation of the unleaded SnAgCu solder according to the experimental results provided by the Metal Research Laboratory (MRL) of Industrial Technologies Research Institute (ITRI). The results of CSP thermal cycle fatigue and SOJ pull tests and the corresponding stress and strain distributions solved from FEM analyses have been used to derive the Coffin-Manson equation for the SnAgCu solder. The other subject is to investigate the effect of CTE mismatch on the fatigue life of solder balls in the opto-electronic packaging. The solidified shapes of the different solder balls after undergoing the re-flow process are predicted by employing the Surface Evolver package program. The FEA meshes of the solidified solder balls in opto-electronic packaging are built according to the output results of the Surface Evolver program. The maximum equivalent plastic shear strain range of the solder after under one thermal cycle process is calculated by employing the MARC finite element package. The fatigue lives of solder balls under different arrangements are estimated according to the proposed Coffin-Manson equation. The effect of solder ball parameters, i.e. solder volume, solder offset distance, solder DNP and solder material on the reliability of different solder balls has also been explored in this thesis.

Electromechanical fatigue properties of dielectric elastomer stretch sensors under orthopaedic loading conditionsPersons, Andrea Karen 05 May 2022 (has links)
Fatigue testing of stretch sensors often focuses on high amplitude, low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior; however, when used for orthopaedic, athletic, or ergonomic assessments, stretch sensors are subjected to low amplitude, high-cycle fatigue (HCF) conditions. As an added layer of complexity, the fatigue testing of stretch sensors is not only focused on the life of the material comprising the sensor, but also on the reliability of the signal produced during the extension and relaxation of the sensor. Research into the development of a smart sock that can be used to measure the range of motion (ROM) of the ankle joint during athletic practices and competitions using stretch sensors is ongoing at Mississippi State University. The current smart sock prototype utilizes StretchSense™ StretchFABRIC capacitive dielectric elastomer sensors. These sensors are no longer manufactured, and FlexSense stretch sensors are being investigated as a potential replacement.
To assess the reliability of the signal of the StretchFABRIC sensors currently used in the prototype, two sensors were subjected to 25,000 cycles of fatigue, under with simultaneous capture of the capacitance. The capacitances of the fatigued sensors were then compared to the capacitance of an unfatigued StretchFABRIC sensor during participant trials. Participants completed four static movements and six dynamic gait trials using either the fatigued or unfatigued sensor. Following completion of the initial static and dynamic movements, the movements were repeated using the opposite sensor. Comparison of the fatigued sensor to the unfatigued sensor revealed an upward drift in the capacitance of the fatigued sensor for all trials.
Two FlexSense sensors were then subjected to either 450,000 or 250,000 cycles of fatigue with simultaneous capture of the signal from the sensor. To assess the signal, the peak capacitance recorded during the fatigue test was compared to the peak stretch percentage produced by the sensor. The peak displacement remained tight about the mean, while the peak stretch percentage exhibited a high level of scatter. From a materials standpoint, the sensors conformed to the Rabinowitz-Beardmore model of polymer fatigue where an initial monotonic overload of the material is followed by a transition to cyclic stability of the material.
