This paper analyzes the stress of the printed circuit board (PCB) packaged by cushion materials after drop and investigates the stress of PCB under the different drop height, different cushion materials and different drop ground using ANSYS finite element software. The stress of PCB is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively after drop, the results show: (1) The stress of the product is effected by drop height and the performance of dropping ground in a large extent; (2) The protect performance varies with the ways of cushioning packaging; (3) Within a certain range, the cushion material with smaller elastic modulus is better due to absorb the impact more energy and can bear the impact force is greater.

Drop test is one of the common methods for determining the reliability of electronic products under actual transportation conditions. The aim of this study is to develop a reliable drop impact simulation technique. The test specimen of a printed circuit board is clamped at two edges on a test fixture and mounted on the drop test machine platform. The drop table is raised at the height of 50mm and dropped with free fall to impinge four half-spheres of Teflon. One accelerometer is mounted on the center of the specimen to measure the impact pulse. The commercial finite element software ANSYS/LS-DYNA is applied to compute the impact acceleration and dynamic strain on the test specimen during the drop impact. The finite element results are compared to the experimental measurement of acceleration with good correlation between simulation and drop testing. With the accurate simulation technique, one is capable of predicting the impact response and characterizing the failure mode prior to real reliability test.

We present finite element method (FEM) simulations of a thermal flow sensor as well as a comparison to measurement results. The thermal sensor is purely based on printed circuit board (PCB) technology, designed for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Design and readout method of the sensor enables the possibility to measure the flow velocity in various fluids. 2D-FEM simulations were carried out in order to predict the sensor characteristic of envisaged setups. The simulations enable a fast and easy way to evaluate the sensor’s behaviour in different fluids. The results of the FEM simulations are compared to measurements in a real environment, proving the credibility of the model.

Graphene nanopore has been widely employed in nanofilter or nanopore devices due to its outstanding properties. The understanding of its mechanical properties at nanoscale is crucial for device improvement. In this work, the mechanical properties of graphene nanopore is thus investigated using atomistic finite element method (AFEM). Four graphene models with different pore shapes (circular (CR), horizontal rectangle (RH), and vertical rectangle (RV)) in sub-nm size which could be successfully fabricated experimentally have been studied here. The force normal to a pore surface is applied to mimic the impact force due to a fluid flow. Increasing pore size results in the reduction in its strength. Comparing among different pore shapes with comparable sizes, the order of pore strength is CR>RH>RV>SQ. In addition, we observe that the direction of pore alignment and geometries of pore edge also play a key role in mechanical strength of nanopores.

The reutilization of waste Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) is a focused topic in the field of environment protection and resource recycling, and the crushing is the crucial process for recycling waste PCB. A hamper impacting crusher was used to achieve metals crushing liberation from non-metals, the liberation mechanism of PCB can be explained by dispersion liberation accompanied disengaging liberation. The Rosin-Rammler distribution model of crushed PCB particle was put forward. The evaluation indexes show that Rosin-Rammler function can accurately describe size distribution of PCB particles because the convergence property R2 is 0.99694 and fitting error E is 4.80658. The selective crushing is appearance with metals concentrated in coarser fraction and non-metals in finer size during comminution processing. The impact crushing is an effective method to metals liberation of PCB particles.

In this study, a lead-free dummy plastic ball grid array component with daisy-chains and Sn4.0Ag0.5Cu Pb-free solder balls was assembled on an halogen-free high density interconnection printed circuit board (PCB) by using Sn1.0Ag0.5Cu solder paste on the Cu pad surfaces of either organic solderable preservative (OSP) or electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG). The assembly was tested for the effect of the formation extent of Ag3Sn intermetallic compound. Afterward a board-level pulse-controlled drop test was conducted on the as-reflowed assemblies according to the JESD22-B110 and JESD22-B111 standards, the impact performance of various surface finished halogen-free printed circuit board assembly was evaluated. The test results showed that most of the fractures occurred around the pad on the test board first. Then cracks propagated across the outer build-up layer. Finally, the inner copper trace was fractured due to the propagated cracks, resulting in the failure of the PCB side. Interfacial stresses numerically obtained by the transient stress responses supported the test observation as the simulated initial crack position was the same as that observed.

This work focuses on deformation mechanisms taking place in a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) exposed to high impact shock. A combined experimental, theoretical, and numerical approach has been applied to address both the nature of the observed deformation and its modeling and test metrology implications. Experimental evidence overwhelmingly indicates that a PCB in both test and system applications undergoes nonlinear deformations. Geometric nonlinearity of board response is attributed to the elevated in-plane (membrane) stresses that develop when a drop height and/or inertia forces are significant. The impact of these stresses on deformations (board strain) was quantified using a specially designed test. Membrane stresses were also accounted for in a numerical (Finite Element Method) model developed and carefully validated in the course of this study. The model shows a very good agreement with test data. The nonlinearity of PCB deformation in shock, i.e. the fact that both bending moments and in-plane forces are present in the board has important implications on test metrology development and on correlation between the measured board strain and stresses in interconnects of surface mounted components. Of special importance is the impact that nonlinearity can have on development of transfer functions between strain measurements on system boards and strain measurements on test boards, which is also addressed in the paper.
