FINITE-ELEMENT ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION OF ADHESIVE BONDING, SOLDERINGAND BRAZING - A BIBLIOGRAPHY (1976-1996)

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite element method s (FEMs) applied to the analysis and simulation of adhesive bonding, s oldering and brazing processes. The bibliography at the end of the pap er contains references to papers, conference proceedings and theses/di ssertations on the subjects that were published in 1976-1996. The foll owing topics are included: adhesive bonding-stress analysis of adhesiv e bonding in general, stress analysis and design of specific bonded jo ints, fracture mechanics and fatigue analysis, destructive and nondest ructive evaluation of bonds, other topics; soldering-thermal stresses and deformation analysis of solder joints, fracture mechanics aspects and fatigue analysis of solder joints, solder joint reliability; and b razing-finite element analysis and simulation.
