Chapter 35: Elastoplastic Creep Analysis of Lead-Free Solder Bumps

This example problem is a thermomechanical analysis of lead-free solder bumps subjected to cyclic thermal loading.

The following features and capabilities are highlighted:

  • Obtaining implicit creep material constants using experimental data.

  • Using creep and plasticity material models to simulate viscoplastic behavior.

  • Determining accumulated creep strain due to thermal loading.
