no / Raymond Pettibon's work sits uncomfortably in the world of comics or cartoons. Instead of jokes or punch-lines, his work promotes an intense form of narrative and exhibits a unique ‘illustrative-comic style’ (O'Connor, The Believer [online], 1995). His work emerged from and reflects upon underground pop culture (rock music, TV, films), and it is the dark side of humanity that his work explores. Pettibon says that he actually prefers writing to drawing and the importance of ‘texts’ can be seen in Raymond Pettibon: A Reader (1998, Philadelphia Museum of Art), a collection in which the written inspirations for his psycho-graphic style is clear. This paper examines how the disturbing subject of Charles Manson oozes into the consciousness of writers, artists and musicians, using Pettibon's work as a powerful case study of this weird phenomenon. Manson has haunted the art of our time; he typifies the way in which, as Pettibon acknowledges, ‘There are certain figures, without even my meaning to do it, that become subjects’ (O'Connor, The Believer [online], 1995). In his cartoons, Pettibon depicts Charles Manson in a variety of ways. This reflects the various multiple readings of Manson and his story evident since his trial and conviction in the late 1960s. Pettibon's links with the American music underground brought him in contact with Manson as a symbol. The media obsession with celebrity – especially ‘bad’ celebrities – is a powerful force which Pettibon addresses. In 1989, Pettibon even made a low-budget movie about Manson and his followers. It is a fascinating intersection of graphic art, music and murder which this paper opens up.

The Coffin-Manson equations of Sn/Ag/Cu and Sn/Pb solder joints are presented in this thesis. The experimental results of CSP thermal cycle fatigue test and ball shear test are used to formulate Coffin-Manson equations. The maximum amplitude of equivalent plastic shear strain corresponding to these two experiments are employed. The MARC finite element package is used to calculate the plastic shear strain. Different published fatigue experiment results have been used to show the accuracy and the feasibility of these proposed equations. The 3-D finite element models of the BGA type¡¦s CSP and VCSEL assembly are employed to simulate the thermal cycling fatigue. Results indicate that the fatigue lifes of solder predicted by using the proposed equations have good agreement with those measured from experimental tests.

[pt] O método EN baseia-se na quantificação do dano causado pela deformação decorrente do histórico de carregamento. O objetivo desse modelo consiste em estimar o número de ciclos para iniciar uma trinca por fadiga. Diferente do método SN o número de variáveis envolvidas nesse modelo é menor. Entretanto, requer um número maior de constantes, que nem sempre podem ser obtidas experimentalmente. Esse fato levou a formulação de diversos modelos que se propõem a estimar as constantes de Coffin-Manson, que na maioria dos casos levam a previsões de vida não conservativas, como visto em outros trabalhos. Contudo a maioria dos casos existentes na literatura não abordam o efeito de regiões de concentração de tensão e a influência de carregamentos com amplitudes variáveis. A metodologia usada nessas pesquisas consiste em avaliar a influência desses aspectos através da comparação entre a vida em fadiga experimental e a estimada segundo as constantes de Coffin-Manson medidas e estimadas segundo diferentes modelos. Esse estudo avalia o dano à fadiga segundo 2 tipos de concentradores de tensão e quatro históricos de carregamentos de amplitude variável. Considerando os modelos de Manson, Muralindhran-Manson, Bäumel-Seeger and Meggiolaro-Castro os resultados mostram que a vida em fadiga prevista usando os parâmetros de Coffin Manson obtidos segundo o método de Meggiolado-Castro e por Baumel-Segger são os que mais se aproximam das vidas estimadas baseada nas constantes experimentais. Nos demais casos nota-se que a regra de concentração de tensão exerce uma maior influência no resultado e levam a vidas à fadiga não conservativas. / [en] The strain-life designed is based on the damaged caused by the strain as a result of a loading history. The purpose of this approach is estimating the number of cycles to initiate a fatigue crack. Compared with the stress life method the EN needs a lower number of variables. However, it needs a large number of parameters that are not directly measurable properties of a material and conduct the necessary number of tests to obtain them is not always an option. This fact leads to the formulation of different models to estimate Coffin- Manson s constants, which in most of the cases can result in a non-conservative fatigue life prediction, as seen in several papers. However, in these studies, it is not considered a specimen with a stress concentration factor neither under a variable amplitude loading history. The methodology used in this research is evaluating the influence of these aspects by comparing the fatigue life experimental with the estimated by using the Coffin Manson s experimental constants and the fatigue life calculated with different models to estimate the Coffin-Manson s parameters. This study evaluated the fatigue damage based on four load histories and two types of samples with different stress risers. Considering the models of Manson, Muralidharan-Manson, Bäumel-Seeger, and Meggiolaro-Castro the results indicated that the fatigue life predicted using the Coffin Manson s parameter obtained by Meggiolaro-Castro and Baumel-Segger s model are more similar to the life calculated with the experimental constants. The other models are more influenced by the stress concentration s rule and can lead to not conservative fatigue life.

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.
