... experiments are comparable to each other thus validating the proposed methodology. Once the fatigue test is completed, destructive failure analysis in a test vehicle is performed to further confirm the failure. Dye and pry techniques are applied to the test vehicle to confirm the failure mode. Dye...

... modes. Assisted by a finite element analysis (FEA), the failure mechanism was explained and associated with the failure modes. The studies showed that the shear speed has a little influence on the maximum shear stress, but the increase of shear height leads to more fractures in the low-k materials...

...-point or four-point bending test. Typical failure modes for ( a ) under point-load test I and ( b ) under point-load test II Typical failure modes for die specimens under the PLT-I and II for failures on ground and untreated surfaces are shown in Figs. 9a 9b , respectively. It is shown...
