Stresses in Adhesively Bonded Bi-Material Assemblies Used in Electronic Packaging

The magnitude and the distribution of stresses in elongated adhesively bonded bi-material assemblies subjected to uniform heating or cooling are determined and discussed. The suggested approach enables one to evaluate the stresses in the assembly components themselves, as well as the shearing and normal (peeling) stresses in the interface, with consideration of the attachment compliance. The case of an epoxy bonded assembly is used to illustrate the developed theory.
