Abstract: To avoid electronics hardware failures during qualification or even worse, in the field, it is of high interest to perform a life time prediction of electronic assemblies in a virtual testing environment through modelling and simulations. Crucial elements in the simulation environment are the Physics of Failure (PoF) models which are translating actual loading into a wear-out life time prediction. In this presentation, we will show the PoF model approaches for the major failure mechanisms (solder fractures, Al capacitor failure, plated through hole copper via fatigue) applied to practical applications.
