International Journal of Materials and Structural Integrity

 

Special Issue on: "Damage Mechanics of Electronic Materials"

Guest Editor: Dr. Leila J. Ladani, Utah State University, USA

This special issue is dedicated to damage in electronic materials; these include solder material, copper pads, semiconductor materials, packaging materials, photonic materials etc. The electronics industry is progressing fast and new materials and applications are introduced daily. Damage to, and reliability of, some of these applications, such as those in aerospace, medical and healthcare, are critical to society.
