An Entropy Based Low-Cycle Fatigue Life Prediction Model for Solder Materials

Fatigue damage is an irreversible progression which can be represented by the entropy increase, and it is well known that the second law of thermodynamics can describe an irreversible process. Based on the concept of entropy, the second law of thermodynamics can provide the changing direction of sys...
