    Biotic Stress is stress biological stress that occurs as a result of damage done to plants by other living organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, beneficial and harmful insects, weeds, and cultivated or native plant s. Agriculture It is a major focus of agricultural research, due to the vast economic losses caused by biotic stress to cash crops. The relationship between biotic stress and plant yield affects economic decisions as well as practical development. The impact of biotic injury on crop yield impacts population dynamics , plant stressor coevolution , and ecosystem nutrient cycling. ref Robert K.D. Peterson, Leon G. Higley.

    Orphan date November 2006 Context date October 2009 Stress Migration is a failure mechanism that often occurs in IC metallization aluminum , copper . Voids form as result of vacancy migration driven by the hydrostatic stress gradient. Large voids may lead to open circuit or unacceptable resistance increase that impededs the IC performance. Stress Migration is often referred as Stress Voiding , Stress Induced Voiding or SIV . High temperature processing of copper dual damascene structures leaves the copper with a large tensile stress due to a mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion of the materials involved. The stress can relax with time through the diffusion of vacancies leading to the formation of voids and ultimately open circuit failures. ref Stress Migration and the Mechanical Properties of Copper, G.B.

  1. Flow stress

    Flow stress is defined as the instantaneous value of stress required to continue deforming the material to keep the metal flowing. It is the yield strength of the metal as a function of strain, which can be expressed ref Mikell P. Groover, 2007, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing Materials, Processes, and Systems, Third Edition, John Wiley & Sons Inc. ref Yf Ke sup n sup Yf Flow stress, MPa e Strain materials science True strain K Strength Coefficient, MPa n Work hardening Strain hardening exponent Hence, Flow stress can also be defined as the stress required to sustain plastic deformation at a particular strain. The flow stress is a function of plastic strain. Flow stresses occur when a mass of flowing fluid induces a dynamic pressure on a conduit wall. The force of the fluid striking the wall acts as the load. This type of stress may be applied in an unsteady fashion when flow rates fluctuate. Water hammer is an example of a transient flow stress.
