Structural Integrity and Reliability in Electronics Enhancing Performance in a Lead-Free Environment / by W.J. Plumbridge, R.J. Matela, A. Westwater.

Knowledge itself is soon obsolete; It is a blunt instrument. Only by understanding can problems be solved and progress achieved. Reliability in performance of electronic equipment, in the face of demands for continuing miniaturisation and the anticipated abolition of lead containing solders, represe...
