Computer Calculations of Stress Relaxation in a Model Connector - Simulation of Different Materials

Finite element analysis of thermal shock tests of RF connectors

“…It becomes more important as the operating temperature of the connector increases. Normally, stress relaxation will be significant when the material is under a higher temperature (higher than 100 • C) for a long time [13,14]. In a shock test, though the highest temperature is greater than 100 • C, the duration is very short.…”
