Vibration and shock loadings can lead to an operating mode violation of the electronic equipment, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and electronic components failure. A major difficulty with PCB vibration response prediction is caused by influence of electronic components, as the components effectively increase the mass and stiffness of the PCB. The problem can be solved by using simplified method based on addition the mass and stiffness of the components to the PCB model. This work developed a methodology of PCB vibration analysis using simplified finite element models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
