... Abstract Thermal fatigue life analysis of GaN packages is an important consideration that affects the reliability and durability of electronic devices. In this paper, the fatigue life assessment of a GaN laterally conducting power packaging, including SAC305 and Sn63/Pb37 solders was conducted...

... welding of the rebar. This has been accomplished and mild steel weldments have been 3D welded onto concrete. To make it acceptable for construction, the reliability of such printed rebar must be investigated. Early results of microscale tensile and fatigue testing on steel weldments made by additive...

... the existing Robust and Reliability-Based Design Optimization (R 2 BDO) and adjusts it to address the key questions above using finite element analysis. The key feature of the new framework is the focus on minimal use of computational resources while being able to screen feasible design concepts early...

... of a machine is important for testing and Design for Reliability. In the case of angle grinders, these forces arise primarily at the contact between the workpiece and the grinding disc. Previous state-of-the-art approaches can determine the dynamic tool forces. Thereby it remains unclear whether the dynamic...

... Abstract A component will not reliable unless it is designed with the required reliability. Since the Advisory Group on Reliability of Electronic Equipment (AGREE) published the “Reliability of Military Electronic Equipment” in 1957, engineering reliability has gradually become an engineering...

... responsible for safety. In this paper, we will explore the analytical relationship between protective system reliability and safety efficacy. Central to our discussions is the understanding that: Not only should protective systems be reliable over time, but they must be highly effective at the exact instants...

... advances on the issues of safety, risk, and reliability have been dismal. Despite its limited uses and manufacturers’ stated goal of making autonomous cars demonstrably safer than an average human-controlled car, several accidents and near-misses have already occurred. The mean distance driven to an unsafe...

... Railway transport is considered one of the most reliable, comfortable and safest modes of travel for both freight and passengers. Rail infrastructure assets (such as tracks, bridges, earthworks, tunnels and drainage systems) must be inspected and maintained on a regular basis in order to ensure...

... of reliable laser diode systems. For example, in a specific case, a high power diode must be mounted with its epitaxy-side down, so as to achieve efficient heat transfer. The device and package junction, particularly the die attach interface, is desired to be void-free (i.e., micro-defect free), stress...

... Abstract A method using discrete design optimization to maximize product reliability and customer satisfaction through uniquely partitioning system architecture is developed and presented in this paper. Using integer programming, constraints such as cost, weight and physical volume...

... Abstract Since the main design parameters in a mechanical component design have some uncertainties and should be treated as random variables, the reliability of a component is a better measurement of the safe status of a component. A component will not be reliable unless it is designed...

... Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are increasingly get popularity in many applications. Their operation requires high level of safety and reliability to accomplish successful missions. In this study, the reliability was comparatively analyzed by different available approaches to select...

... parameters were determined using a chi-square test. The first-order reliability method was used to calculate the probability of failure and sensitivity of each input parameter. The elastic modulus was the most sensitive among all input parameters, with 57% of the total sensitivity. The study quantified...
