In the electronic industry, there is currently a renewed interest in the study of the failure of BGA package and socket solder joints under mechanical stressing, specifically shock and vibration. This means that an analyst now needs to know the proper modeling and test procedures to use in order to better tackle the problem of solder joint reliability under shock and vibration loading. In this paper, an effort has been made to collate the best known methods associated with vibration testing of electronic components mounted on printed circuit boards.
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.
