Decreased system reliability due to overloaded power supplies is a common engineering challenge. In this Q&A-style article submitted by Allied Electronic & Automation, David Norton, technical ...

When assessing system reliability using system, subsystem, and component-level data, assumptions are required about the form of the system structure in order to utilize the lower-level data. We ...

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)-based parallel optical interconnects are becoming vital components of communications systems for which short distance (less than 300 meters) and high ...

In today’s world, so-called “high-performance, sustainable” facilities are a dime a dozen. But many of these buildings rely on overly complex mechanical systems to carry out their mission. While these ...

Failure Mode, Mechanism and Effect Analysis (FMMEA) is a reliability analysis method which is used to study possible failure modes, failure mechanisms of each component, and to identify the effects of ...
