Long-Term Non-Operating Reliability of Electronics Products

In today's electronic environment, operating reliability for continued daily use of electronic products is essential. This book discusses the reliability of products that lie dormant for long periods of time & are subject to stresses such as humidity, ionic contaminants, temperature, radiation, shock, & vibration. Non-operating reliability is especially critical for life-saving electronic products such as fire alarm systems, standby power sources, & burglar alarms. Air bags in automobiles, earthquake alarm systems, & radiation warning systems in nuclear power plants are also covered. This physics-of-failure approach is also important to maintaining defense hardware such as missiles & munitions systems which often lie dormant for years before being deployed on very short notice.Pecht, Judy is the author of 'Long-Term Non-Operating Reliability of Electronics Products' with ISBN 9780849396212 and ISBN 0849396212.
