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 using the Ansys Mechanical Application. To see this example solved using Ansys Mechanical APDL see Elastoplastic Creep Analysis of Lead-Free Solder Bumps in the Technology Showcase: Example Problems.

The following features and capabilities are highlighted:

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

  • Determining accumulated creep strain due to thermal loading.
