Hi Dave,
With Sn/Pb solders we have solder fatigue models that account for the
incomplete creep in accelerated testing, as long some controlled and not
insignificant amount of creep in fact has taken place during the accelerated cycling [see
IPC-SM-785].
The rapid [T-shock/no dwells] cycling will not only operate in the elastic
regime but there will also be plastic deformation by yielding--however, there
will essentially no plastic deformation due to creep which is the important
damage mechanism.
Regards,
Werner Engelmaier
