Tensile characterization and constitutive modeling of sintered nano-silver particles over a range of strain rates and temperatures

Sintered nano-silver die-attach materials have been widely used in high-power electronics packaging because of their high thermal and electrical conductivities. In this study, we characterized the tensile properties of sintered nano-silver particles over a range of strain rates and temperatures, and established the constitutive models. First, 50...

Combined effects of elevated temperatures and high strain rates on compressive performance of S30408 austenitic stainless steel

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the dynamic mechanical performance of S30408 austenitic stainless steel (ASS) under elevated temperatures, which is essential for determining the behaviour of structures made with this type of steel subjected to the coupled fire and impact/explosion. For this purpose, the quasi-static and...
