Engineers often find it difficult to simulate the failure models for mechanisms such as electromigration, hot carrier injection, and time-dependent dielectric breakdown, the primary die-level failure mechanisms in integrated circuits. This webinar provides guidance on how to utilize the models based on technical information about the part technology.

Recognized for its expertise in battery reliability and safety, CALCE has been selected by UL Research Institutes (ULRI) for the Discoveries in Safety Grants program. The associated project aims to detect early signs of failure in lithium-ion batteries before hazardous events occur, addressing one of the most pressing challenges in modern energy storage. 

Dr. Judith Jeevarajan from UL Research Institutes gave a presentation on battery safety at the University of Maryland as part of a battery safety education initiative and a review of the ongoing project.

Flip chips are widely used in electronic systems for defense, aerospace, and other applications where packaging reliability is critical. However, flip chip defect samples present a variety of defect types and few samples with labels in actual industrial applications. ...

As a key component of rotating machinery, the operation, maintenance, and health management of bearings are of great significance, yet challenges such as the low bearing remaining useful life (RUL) prediction accuracy and the poor generalization persist. To address the above issues, this paper proposes a meta-transfer-driven method for cross-domain RUL prediction of rolling bearings with limited data. ...

When a linear viscoelastic (LVE) analysis is to be implemented, the time-dependent shear and bulk moduli, G(t) and K(t), are required. In practice, however, only the time-dependent behavior under uniaxial loading, E(t), is often available for the analysis simply because it can be measured routinely using commercial tools such as a dynamic mechanical analyzer or a universal tensile testing machine. ...
