Weibull

I hope some of you will find this work interesting. We present a new Weibull framework for cleavage fracture that incorporates strain gradient plasticity and can estimate the three parameters of Weibull-type models without any prior assumptions. A post-print is available at www.empaneda.com

Flip-chip plastic ball grid array (FC-PBGA) packages are widely used in high performance components. However, its die back is normally under tensile stress at low temperatures. This paper presents a probabilistic mechanics approach to predict the die failure rate in the FC-PBGA qualification process. The methodology consists of three parts:
