SUMMARY:Dynamic response of electronic systems to shocks and vibrations: A
 pplications ot analytical ("mathematical") modelling and design for reliab
 ility (DfR) - Ephraim Suhir\, Department of Electrical Engineering\, Unive

DESCRIPTION:We address some basic problems of the dynamic response of elec
 tronic systems to shocks and vibrations\, with an emphasis on analytical (
 “mathematical”) modelling\, reliability physics behind the addressed p
 henomena\, and design-for-reliability (DfR) issues and challenges\, includ
 ing probabilistic DfR (PDfR). The problems addressed include\, but are not
  limited to\, the attributes of analytical modelling\, linear response (ef
 fect of viscous damping\, shock tests vs. drop tests\, role of compliant i
 nterfaces\, maximum acceleration as an adequate reliability criterion)\, n
 onlinear response of a printed circuit board (PCB) to an impact load appli
 ed to its support contour\, random vibrations\, and shock protection of po
 rtable electronics\, including application of nano-wires as a suitable “
 cushion”.  Basic concepts are illustrated by numerous practical examples
 . The seminar is intended for scientists and engineering students\, as wel
 l as for engineers and engineering managers\, who are interested or involv
 ed in the field of the dynamic response of micro-electronic\, opto-electro
 nic and/or photonic systems\, and/or micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEM
 S) and MOEMS (optical MEMS) to shocks and vibrations.
