Abstract
A combined design of experiment and numerical analysis approach is used to determine the effect of four design parameters on the thermal fatigue life of solder joints. The four parameters considered were: substrate thickness, array configuration, ball pitch, acid pad size. A full factorial experiment was designed which was conducted numerically. A validated life prediction model was then used to determine the fatigue lives for each combination. Up to a factor of five improvement in fatigue life is predicted when these parameters were changed from one level to another.

A creep-rupture model for two-phase eutectic solders

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical framework to predict failure of solders under creep conditions is proposed, based on both micromechanics and fracture mechanics, and the general agreement between the model predictions and reported creep-rupture data in the literature for lead/tin eutectic solder indicates that the mode and mechanisms proposed in the model may control the solder creeprupture process.

Creep Crack Growth Prediction of Solder Joints During Temperature Cycling—An Engineering Approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a model is developed which predicts the creep damage accumulation in solder joints during temperature cycling, and the model relates the crack growth rate to the rate of creep energy density dissipated using the C* parameter of nonlinear fracture mechanics for extensive creep damage.
