For example, the insulation failure of a piece of high-voltage equipment not only impacts its reliability but also safety with fatal consequences. Some safety-critical electrical systems (such as ...

For example, the effect of temperature on the electrical resistance of wires, or the effect of current flow on heat dissipation in wires (joules heating), are both thermo-electric multi-physics ...

If engineers find a way to increase the reliability of the protective system in any given area, the calculated risk to life and property in that location will be driven down.

Motion System Design turns to industry experts for some tips on how to get long life and high reliability from a design.

For example, the voltage-aware spacing check must have both the physical layout data and domain voltage information to accurately determine the required spacing between the polygons. This type of ...

Application-Aware Reliability Designing for worst-case reliability is no longer acceptable with today’s compressed chip design cycles. ICs need to be optimally designed for reliability and not ...

Process industries need accurate, real-time control systems that are failure-proof and degradation-resistant, emphasizing design and component choices within cost limits.
