you may need to perform fatigue tests as part of your failure analysis. But how do you choose between low cycle and high cycle fatigue tests? In this article, we will explain the differences and ...

leading to the formation of cracks and potential failure. High-Cycle Fatigue (HCF): Fatigue that occurs under low-stress levels but with a high number of cycles, typically greater than 10,000 cycles.

Then the physics-based model converts these stress cycle predictions into a reliable estimate of the number of cycles to failure ... predictive approach for low-cycle fatigue life based on ...

If the solder structures are not properly designed, the thermal strain can be a source of premature fatigue failure. In this work, finite element analysis is used to characterize the plastic strains ...
