This paper proposes a computationally efficient methodology to predict the damage progression in solder contacts of electronic components using temperature-time curves. For this purpose, two machine learning algorithms, a Multilayer Perceptron and a Long Short-Term Memory network, are trained and compared with respect to their prediction accuracy and the required amount of training data. The training is performed using synthetic, normally distributed data that is realistic for automotive

As a result, both machine learning algorithms show a relevant accuracy for the prediction of accumulated creep strains. With a training data length of 350 hours (12.5 training data), both models show a constantly good fitting performance of R^2 of 0.72 for the Multilayer Perceptron and R^2 of 0.87 for the Long Short-Term Memory network. The prediction errors of the accumulated creep strains are less than 10 lifetime prediction directly on the electronic device.
