Transient and Steady-state Creep in a SnAgCu Lead-free Solder Alloy: Experiments and Modeling

It has been conventional to simplify the thermo-mechanical modeling of solder joints by omitting the primary (transient) contributions to total creep deformation, assuming that secondary (steady-state) creep strain is dominant and primary creep is negligible. The error associated with this assumptio...
