The Importance of Environmental Reliability Products often fail not because of poor design, but due to the environmental and mechanical stresses they face in everyday use. Research shows that more than half of warranty claims are caused by vibration, shock, or temperature extremes. These factors create fatigue, cracks, and other structural issues that lead to[…]
Random vibration analysis is a method used to determine the response of a system or structure to random or non-repetetive excitations. This type of analysis is commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, and mechanical engineering industries to evaluate the performance and reliability of components and systems under dynamic loads. Random vibration analysis is typically performed[…]
Your Vibration Testing Fixture Shouldn’t Be An Afterthought Resonances are great for musical instruments, but except for some very specialized vibration applications, resonances should be avoided in vibration testing fixtures. The objective of vibration testing is to introduce a specified level of energy into your device under test (DUT) at or over a range of[…]
Reliability of a product and its constant improvement is critical in manufacturing electronics. In order to bring a reliable product to market in the shortest period of time, manufacturers need a method that stresses the product and determines possible design and manufacturing weaknesses. HALT HASS testing allows manufacturers the opportunity to remain competitive by offering[…]
Both thermal shock testing and temperature cycle testing exposes a device under test (DUT) to alternating high and low air temperatures to accelerate failures caused due to repeated temperature variations during normal use conditions.
