The initiation and the propagation of solder joint crack depend on its environmental conditions, such as high temperature creep and thermal fatigue. Creep is known to be the most important factor for the mechanical failure of solder joints in micro-electronic components and micro-systems. This is mainly caused by the different thermal expansion coefficients of the materials used in the micro-electronic packages. To determine the reliability of solder joints and consequently the electronic components, the characterization of the creep behavior of this group of materials is crucial. This paper is to apply the theory of creep into solder joints and to provide related technical information needed for evaluation of reliability of solder joint to failure. 63Sn-37Pb solder was used in this study. This paper experimentally shows a way to enhance the reliability of solder joints.

This paper discusses the reliability of solder joints of electronic devices on printed circuit board. Solder application is usually done by screen printing method for the bonding between outer leads of devices and thick film(Ag/Pd) pattern on Hybrid IC as wel1 as Cu lands on PCB. As result of thermal stresses generated at the solder joints due to the differences of thermal expansion coefficients between packge body and PCB, Micro cracking often occurs due to thermal fatigue failure at solder joints. The initiation and the propagate of solder joint crack depends on the environmental conditions, such as storage temperature and thermal cycling. The principal mechanisms of the cracking pheno- mana are the formation of kirkendal void caused by the differences in diffusion rate of materials, ant the thermal fatigue effect due to the differences of thermal expansion coefficient between package body and PCB. Finally, This paper experimentally shows a way to supress solder joints cracks by using low-${\alpha}$ PCB and the packages with thin lead frame, and investigates the phenomena of diffusion near the bonding interfaces.

Recently an electrochemical noise method (ENM) with three electrodes has gained attention as a corrosion monitoring system in chemical plants. So far a few studies have been carried out for localized corrosion and environmental cracking of chemical plant materials. In this paper the ENM system is briefly summarized. Then an application of ENM to general corrosion for chemical plant materials is described. The emphasis is focused upon the analysis of stress on the corrosion cracking process of austenitic stainless steel in 30% $MgCl_2$ aqueous solution and the corrosion fatigue crack initiation process of 12 Cr stainless steel in 3% NaCl aqueous solution by ENM. Finally future problems for ENM to monitor regarding corrosion and environmental cracking in chemical plants are discussed.

The welding residual stress should be considered in fatigue stress analysis because it develope during the process of the electric resistance spot welding and it causes bad affect on the fatigue crack initiation and growth at nugget edge of spot welded points. Therefore the accurate estimation of residual stress is crucial. In this study, nonlinear finite element analysis on welding residual stress generated during the process of the spot welding was conducted, and their results were compared with the experimental data measured by X-ray diffraction method. From the results, it was found that welding residual stress existed as tension in the nugget center and as compression around the nugget edge.

Once assessment of material failure characteristics is captured precisely in a unified way, it can bedirectly incorporated into the structural failure assessment under various loading environments, based on the theoretical backgrounds so called Local Approach to Fracture. The aim of this study is to develop a numerical fatigue test method by continuum damage mechanics applicable for the assessment of structural integrity throughout crack initiation and structural failure based on the Local Approach to Fracture. The generalized elasto-visco-plastic constitutive equation, which can consider the internal damage evolution behavior, is developed and employed in the 3-D FEA code in order to numerically evaluate the material and/or structural responses. Explicit information of the relationships between the mechanical properties and material constants, which are required for the mechanical constitutive and damage evolution equations for each material, are implemented in numerical fatigue test method. The material constants selected from constitutive equations are used directly in the failure assessment of material and/or structures. The performance of the developed system has been evaluated with assessing the S-N diagram of stainless steel materials.

A seismic damaged bridge may be hit again by a strong aftershock or another earthquake in a short interval before the repair work has been done. However, discussions about the impact of the unrepaired damages on the residual earthquake resistance of a steel bridge are very scarce at present. In this paper, nonlinear time-history analysis of a steel arch bridge was performed using multi-scale hybrid model. Two strong historical records of main shock-aftershock sequences were taken as the input ground motions during the dynamic analysis. The strain response, local deformation and the accumulation of plasticity of the bridge with and without unrepaired seismic damage were compared. Moreover, the effect of earthquake sequence on crack initiation caused by low-cycle fatigue of the steel bridge was investigated. The results show that seismic damage has little impact on the overall structural displacement response during the aftershock. The residual local deformation, strain response and the cumulative equivalent plastic strain are affected to some extent by the unrepaired damage. Low-cycle fatigue of the steel arch bridge is not induced by the earthquake sequences. Damage indexes of low-cycle fatigue predicted based on different theories are not exactly the same.

본 연구에서는 공용중인 강철도교의 피로에 대한 안전성을 확보하기 위해 기존의 피로손상예측이론을 바탕으로 강철도교의 피로손상 및 피로균열발생까지의 피로수명을 평가하였으며, 또한 신뢰성이론에 근거하여 사용수명에 따른 신뢰도를 평가하였다. 그리고 이러한 평가를 바탕으로 다양한 통행조건에 대해 등가열차하중을 이용한 간편한 분석 기법을 제안하였다. 피로손상평가를 위하여 적용한 실동응력은 대상교량이 경험하는 다양한 하중조건에 대해 구조해석을 통해서 구해진 응력이력에 보정계수를 적용하여 구하였다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 운행특성, 즉 교행조건의 고려 유 무에 따른 잔존수명은 교행특성을 고려하지 않은 경우가 고려한 경우보다 약간 긴 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 본 연구에서 제안한 간편한 분석기법인 등가열차하중모형에 의한 잔존수명평가 결과는 상세잔존수명평가 결과와 비교하여 볼 때 그 차이가 근사한 것으로 평가되었다.

The effect of porosity on the high-cycle fatigue properties of Al-Si-Mg casting aluminum alloys was investigated in this study. Microstructure examination, tensile and high-cycle fatigue test were conducted on both Al-Si-Mg casted (F) and heat-treated (T6) conditions. Porosity characteristics on the fracture surfaces of fatigue-tested samples were examined using SEM and image analysis. The microstructure observation results showed that eutectic Si particles were homogeneously dispersed in the matrix of the Al-Si-Mg casting alloys, but there were porosities formed as cast defects. The high-cycle fatigue results indicated that the fatigue strength of the 356-T6 alloy was higher than that of the 356-F alloys because of the significant reduction in volume fraction of pores by heat treatment. The SEM fractography results showed that porosity affected detrimental effect on the fatigue life: 80% of all tested samples fractured as a result of porosity which acted as the main crack initiation site. It was found that fatigue life decreased as the size of the surface pore increased. A comparison was made between surface pore and inner pore for its effect on the fatigue behavior. The results showed that the fatigue strength with the inner pores was higher than that of the surface pore.

지금까지 자동차 소재의 경량화 및 연소가스의 저감은 부품의 플라스틱화를 통하여 많은 진전이 있었다. 장섬유 보강 폴리프로필렌 소재가 적용된 프론트 엔드 모듈 캐리어는 플라스틱 구조부품 중에서 가장 성공적인 사례이다. 하지만, 장기 신뢰성 측면에서 볼 때, 자동차용 플라스틱 소재에 대한 피로거동 및 진동내구에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 프론트 엔드 모듈 캐리어의 피로설계 및 해석의 기초가 되는 폴리프로필렌 장섬유 소재에 대한 내구성을 분석하였다. 피로수명과 응력진폭 또는 평균응력 간의 상관관계를 평가하기 위하여 다양한 응력비에서 피로실험을 수행하였다. 일정 응력진폭에서 응력비를 변화시킨 결과는 최대하중을 고정시킨 결과보다 피로수명의 변화가 응력비 증가에 따라 2~6% 크게 나타났다. 또한 주사전자 현미경을 통하여 장섬유 보강 폴리프로필렌 소재에 대한 피로균열의 발생, 전파의 파괴기구를 확인하였다.
