Solder joint testing and failure analysis by Kang, Eng Tat.

“…These devices are also likely to undergo thermo-mechanical cycling during device processing and service and therefore, the joints are likely to have existing low-cycle fatigue cracks, which might adversely affect the joint mechanical integrity under various loading situations. A compact mixed mode (CMM) fracture specimen will be used in this report to study the effect of mix-modes on its failure mechanism and mechanical integrity. …”
