Cracks in the System – Thermomechanical Fatigue of Electronics Components, Part 2

Thermomechanical Failure / Kyle Koppenhoefer

As discussed in Part 1, engineers are tasked with designing electrical components that can withstand the increased thermal and mechanical loads required of today’s ever-more-powerful electronics. Sometimes these are entirely new designs built from the ground up, and subjected to holistic testing and prototyping during the R&D phase. But often, manufacturers seek to merely tweak […]

Cracks in the System – Thermomechanical Fatigue of Electronics Components, Part 1

Thermomechanical Failure / Kyle Koppenhoefer

The airbags in your car; the camera on your video doorbell; the phone or other electronic device you’re reading this on right now. The everyday products that make modern life possible wouldn’t be able to run without key electrical components that maintain functionality and stability for years at a time. And yet, these electrical components

Saving Time and Money for Rockwell Automation

Electronic Cooling, Featured / Kyle Koppenhoefer

Problem: As Rockwell Automation looked to improve product functionality, engineers relied on developing physical prototypes to test heat sink designs for its powerful microprocessor chips. This approach left mechanical engineers scrambling at the end of the design cycle to find an electronics cooling solution that would fit the prototypes and not delay new product releases.

COMSOL Conference and 5.2

Community, COMSOL Multiphysics / Kyle Koppenhoefer

COMSOL Conference and 5.2 Better Than Ever It has taken us some time to share about this year’s COMSOL Conference because we have been thinking of just the right word to describe it. The problem is that there is too much to describe, and we know we cannot describe it as indescribable… so we waited.
