3. 3 Rules Of Defect Precipitation The following slides describe the Basic Rules of defect precipitation. The are the “Golden Rules”[1]. This Delays the slide

4. 4 #1 If You’re Not Stressing The Flaw, You’re Wasting Your Time.[1] Basic Physics – Components Accumulate Fatigue Through Vibration @ their self-resonant frequency F r.[2] Basic Screening Requirement – Accumulated Fatigue Must Exceed Flaw Fatigue Limit @ F r. Input Energy MUST Match Flaw Susceptibility - Type, Rate, & Resonant Frequency F r. Input Energy Must Reach Potential Flaws To Make Them Fail Flaws Not Under Critical Stress Have “Infinite Life” There is no Guarantee Input Energy Will Reach Flaw Sites – Job 1 is to Determine if it Does at an Input Energy That is Above a Critical Level. A Screen is Faster if Excitation is Uniform Since Fewer Steps at Increasing Stress Levels Will be Needed. This Delays the slide

5. 5 #2 “What You Don’t Know CAN Ruin Your Screen”[1] Knowledge of Product Response is Essential Stress Transmission Paths to The Flaw Site Control Screening Effectiveness Thermal & Vibration Surveys are VALUE-ADDED Development Tools Surveys Help Match PRODUCT RESPONSE With INPUT ENERGY Characteristics As a Rule, PRODUCT RESPONSE Spectrums MUST be ENVELOPED by the INPUT ENERGY Spectrum Survey Data Applies to More than One Product Type This Delays the slide

6. 6 #3 “Mother Nature Always Sides With Physics”[1] Reasons Stress Characteristics Don’t Match Product Response: Test Machines Have Distinct LIMITATIONS Due to Combinations of Two Principles : –Thermal Change Rates TOO Slow or TOO Fast – –Insufficient Thermal Stress at Flaw Sites –Vibration Holes or Spikes in Input Spectrum in Relation to Table/Fixture Position – –Too Little or Too Much Stress at Both Flaw and Non- Flaw Sites This Delays the slide

7. 7 #5 There Are NO Magic Facilities or Methodologies[1] Facilities Can Only Accomplish What Physics Allows Technical Knowledge IS STILL A NECESSARY COMMODITY Physics, Not Marketing, Determines Whether A Screening Chamber Can Provide Adequate Stress It’s NOT a Case of “Turn-it-on-and-trust-me.” This Delays the slide

23. 23 Example Of DP(f) Use DP(f) spectrums were measured from two 6DOF machines produced by the same manufacturer. Both were running @ 10 gRMS. Sensors were located at front-left quadrant locations on each table. DP fRMS Indicated that machine #2 produced two times as much fatigue as machine #1, overall. This suggests that screen time costs of machine #2 can be 1/2 those of machine #1 for the same screen results, and also that unless exposure time compensation is made, some products with critical f r may have different EOL. This Delays the slide

24. 24 Machine # 1 vs Machine # 2 From two similar machines, same table locations, @10 gRMS. Overall, #2 produces 2 times more fatigue than #1. At 508 Hz, #2 produces 386X more fatigue than #1. This Delays the slide
