When a global medical device company needed help setting up a reliability program, Marie Getsug was up for the task. As a program manager of strategic consulting for asset management at Jacobs ...

Faster processors, lowered power targets and shrinking technology have increased the complexity of integrated circuit (IC) reliability analysis. With the 20nm node becoming mainstream, IC design teams ...

The field of engineering design increasingly relies on rigorous methods in reliability analysis and uncertainty quantification to ensure that structures, systems and materials perform as intended ...

Demand for lower defect rates and higher yields is increasing, in part because chips are now being used for safety- and mission-critical applications, and in part because it’s a way of offsetting ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

How can systems be designed to guard against unexpected downtime? How does system reliability impact product development? In what ways can artificial intelligence and machine learning improve system ...

Assume your task is to design a dc-dc converter with a defined reliability — at minimum cost. To succeed, you would have to prove that you met or exceeded the reliability target. You can do this by ...

A short outage may not cause much trouble for a refrigerated storage facility, but unplanned shutdowns may cost millions of dollars and cause a drop in share price for data centers, microchip ...

When considering the long term reliability of a PCB, you must take into account the vias that you have on your board. While an invaluable and essential part of board design, vias introduce weaknesses ...
