Hello all:

We're using Coffin-Manson equation to calculate the acceleration factor
(AF)of solder joint. The failure mechanism is thermal fatigue. The only
stress taken into account in the equation is temperature range. I have a
question: is it possible to include the temperature transition rate in that
equation? And what's the relationship between AF and temperature rate?

Thanks a lot!

Ruby
