First, finite element analysis is used to determine PCBs, and the stiffness of housings, so that the dynamic the effective stiffness for housing and PCB board . lti stability is maintained. Finally, the developed models are respectively. Second, a two-degree-of-freedom analyical applied to evaluate the dynamic response of a dynamic model is developed to investigate the drop commercially used cellular phone.impact response. Such an approach allows parametric analysis to determine the important design parameters, 2.

The mobile phone can be simplified Board level finite element analysis is also performed as a two-degree-of-freedom system, as shown in Fig. 1. using input-acceleration model. The results are in good ml and k1 are mass and spring constant of PCB board; m2 agreement with the analytical model results developed and k2 are mass and spring constant of housing. xl and x2 above. Finally, both methods are applied to evaluate the are displacements for PCB and housing, respectively. dynamic response of a commercially used cellular phone.
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.
