In reliability engineering, few indicators are as consistently revealing as the particles that infiltrate a lubrication ...

Abstract: Reliability is a critical performance metric for power semiconductor switches and power electronic systems. Yet guidance on how to test and quantify that reliability is fragmented in the ...

ASTM published Standard E3499-25 for PIP testing, enabling faster mechanical property analysis in regulated manufacturing applications ...

Digital twins dominated discussions at SEMICON West this year, appearing in keynote presentations, panel sessions, and workshops. The conversation reflected a noticeable shift in how the industry ...

As semiconductors push into environments once considered untenable, reliability expectations are being redefined. From the vacuum of space and the inside of jet engines to deep industrial automation ...

Immersion cooling is changing how designers address thermal issues in data centers. Formalizing standards and expanding testing capabilities are still needed to streamline component validation and ...

Data center workloads continue to surge due to the rise of AI and high-performance computing (HPC), and, in turn, traditional air-cooling methods are reaching their practical limits. As thermal loads ...

Times are changing fast. Take the automotive industry for example. Software has evolved far beyond infotainment, now controlling everything in the car, including braking and steering for the driver.

[This article was first published in Army Sustainment Professional Bulletin, which was then called Army Logistician, volume 1, number 2 (November–December 1969), pages 8–11, 24–25.] “… in the process ...
