DfR Launches the Shock and Vibration Partnership

With companies representing a range of industries (medical, military, avionics, solder), DfR Solutions launched the Shock and Vibration Partnership on January 21, 2011. This activity will use a combination of simulation and testing to identify the most effective vibration and shock mitigations. Solutions such as underfill, staking compounds, dummy ball, solder alloy, and corner slots will be benchmarked in regard to cost, manufacturability, effect on thermal cycling, and ability to mitigate shock and vibration damage. If you would like more information on this activity, contact Joelle Arnold, jarnold@dfrsolutions.com.
