Reliable implementation of cots parts and assemblies into Aerospace systems
DfR Solutions Seminar
Overview
NASA and the aerospace industry tenaciously pursue safety measures. The effect of various environmental factors on electronics components poses a reliability challenge for many engineers here on earth, let alone at 40,000 feet or in deep space. Components in development undergo rigorous qualification processes and extended test cycles, often repeated at extreme parametric limits and under harsh environmental conditions, and the price can be excessive.
The use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies in the aerospace industry has taken off as a cost-effective alternative. NASA has been able to successfully use COTS with careful attention to selection, qualification and testing.
Reliability expert and author Lloyd Condra will provide his fascinating insights during this webinar. After experience as a technical fellow at Boeing and ASQ Reliability Division, Condra recently joined DfR Solutions as an advisor of electronics manufacturing. He has contributed to multiple academic studies including Reliability Assessment of Aerospace Electronic Equipment, and he is highly sought after for his knowledge of military defense systems. He has authored 2 books, Reliability Improvement with Design of Experiment and Value-added Management with Design of Experiments and published over 40 technical papers.

These days it is more important than ever for ECAD and MCAD engineers to collaborate throughout the entire product design cycle. Printed circuit board designs, mechanical enclosures, and related components need to mate, fit, and be correct by design to eliminate re-spins, get designs to market quicker, and minimize production costs. At this webinar you will learn how a consistent and continuous communication channel between design and mechanical engineers can keep designs in synch, prevent rework, and optimize time to market.
Fans 101 - An Introduction to Fans in Electronics Cooling ApplicationsFans are common in many electronics cooling applications though it may not be well understood why a particular fan type might be better in a particular design. In this presentation we will discuss how experimental fan measurement is obtained and integrated into a CFD model.
