Failure Type:
F(c) = failures only accelerated by a combined thermal and vibration stress environment
Typical Failures Detected:
Rapid Thermal in Combination with vibration, puts maximum stress on surface mount components.
Components will expand/contract at different rates than the unit beneath. Addition of high frequency vibration makes stressful environment for marginal surface mount solder joints. Changes in temperature during vibration cause components and materials to respond differently at different temperatures. Similar to what a product endures once put into the end use environment.
