Could dynamic strength of a bonding material in an electronic device be assessed from static shear-off test data?

Abstract

A simple and physically meaningful analytical predictive model is suggested to estimate the ultimate drop height in drop tests from the shear-off test data. The incentive for such an effort is due to the fact that shear-off tests are much easier to design, organize and conduct than drop tests. The analysis is limited to elastic stresses. The general concept is illustrated by a numerical example.
