Abstract

Shear fatigue tests of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder joints were carried out by the combination of an advanced lap-joint specimen with high stiffness fixtures. This paper presents an evaluation of fatigue crack initiation lifetime of the joints under the condition of low strain rate followed by creep deformation. Consequently, an experimental relation between the inelastic strain range and the number of cycles corresponding to 20% load decrease were obtained.
