Abstract:

This paper presents a micro-mechanistic approach for modeling fatigue damage initiation due to cyclic creep in eutectic Pb-Sn solder. Damage mechanics due to cyclic creep is modeled with void nucleation, void growth, and void coalescence model based on microstructural stress fields. Micro-structural stress states are estimated under viscoplastic phenomena like grain boundary sliding, its blocking at second-phase particles, and diffusional creep relaxation. In Part II of this paper, the developed creep-fatigue damage model is quantified and parametric studies are provided to better illustrate the utility of the developed model.
