Abstract
This work is used to determine fracture mechanics properties and fatigue life of electroplated nickel and nickel-iron microstructures used in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) applications from published tensile test data. Calculations of the stress intensity factor, the initial crack length of the plastic zone, and predictions of fatigue life for micro structured nickel and Ni-20%Feare presented. The goal of this effort is to provide a theoretical approach that will allow for the future development of an industrial standard to predict the fatigue life of MEMS components.
