Modeling the rate-dependent inelastic deformation behavior of porous polycrystalline silver films

During the last years more and more investigations on the viscoplastic behavior of sintered silver inter-connections were published. To classify the meaning of the rate-dependency of porous silver films a good model description is necessary. Since different formulations are available and already used, this work focusses on different continuum mechanics modeling strategies for describing the experimental results. Creep tests at different load and...
