... management task for the artillery application challenging. The ability to accurately analyze these designs requires the use of fully coupled thermal-stress transient-analysis with accurate material properties over the full temperature range. To highlight the thermal-stress transient effects, the potted...

... size, are proposed and examined numerically. The transient analysis follows the support excitation scheme and incorporates an implicit time integration solver. Numerical results indicate that the drop reliability of the package enhances as the die thickness as well as the die size decreases. Moreover...

... power and thermal cycling are approximately linear combinations of the temperature histories from pure power cycling and the ones from pure thermal cycling. In other words, superimposing temperature histories in Figs. 7 8 approximates those in Fig. 6 . This implies that the transient analysis...
