FEA for solder joints

[ceferinos]

FEA experts:



Please send any links, references, books, consultancies that can help us start with using FEA on solder joints. The goal is better design to avoid failures in drop tests, vibration tests, HALT, etc. Preferred tools are ANSYS and Pro/MECHANICA.





Regards,

Cef

Hello,



A friend of mine worked with Mr. Engelmaier at Bell Laboratories. I'm sure you can contact him directly or I can try to contact him myself.
