Thermomechanical Simulation
To ensure the reliability of electronics from the design stage, thermomechanical simulation is becoming an increasingly important tool. Swerim offers expertise and services in thermomechanical simulation.
Applications
The method is crucial for enhancing knowledge about thermomechanical mechanisms and understanding where and how failure mechanisms can affect electronic hardware.
Preventing Faults and Cracks
In modern electronics, such as in plastic-encased components, a variety of materials are used with significantly varying thermal expansion coefficients. During the manufacturing process and under use, especially in demanding operating environments, the surfaces between, for example, the silicon wafer and encapsulating plastic, are subjected to strong mechanical stress.
How Can We Assist You?
By using thermomechanical simulation, one can predict faults and imminent cracks that, in the worst-case scenario, could compromise the electrical function.
