Mechanical integrity tests are designed to subject the component
to suddenly applied forces, abrupt changes in direction, and
very rapid changes of temperature. The mechanical
shock and vibration tests, for example, are intended to determine
the suitability of the devices for use in electronic equipment
to withstand the result of rough handling, transportation,
or field operation. Each of these tests may cause the loosening
of parts or relative motion between parts in the specimen,
may produce objectionable operating characteristics such as
noise and wear, and may often result in fatigue and failure
of mechanical parts.
Silicon Cert offers the following in-house mechanical integrity tests
to standards such as Telcordia (BellCore), JEDEC, MIL-STD,
and Automotive Electronics Council (AEC-Q100).
