Whisker Nucleation by Slip-Assisted Grain Rotation During Thermal Cycling
As a result of thermal cycling, polycrystalline tin films with a large in-plane grain size relative to film thickness on copper substrates show grain boundary (GB) sliding, creep, yielding, and nucleation of s...

Mechanical Failure of Cu-Sn Solder Joints
The effects of the microstructure on the fracture mechanisms of Cu-Sn intermetallic compounds (IMC) in solder joints under tensile load are studied with numerical simulations. When solder joints are exposed to...

Validation of strain invariant failure analysis in an open hole off-axis specimen
We present a model that incorporates the effect of uncertainty in the microstructure of composite systems in failure analysis. The method involves a recently developed micromechanical enhancement model to inte...
