The strength of soldered joints has been measured as a function of their width and the results are compared with theoretical estimates. An explanation is given for noted deviations from theoretical predictions. Measurements have also been made of the elastic modulus of solder at high stresses. A possible relation to a ductile fracture mechanism by cavity coalescence is briefly considered.
