功率循环测试中衬底焊接层的可靠性

基板与陶瓷衬底之间的焊层寿命通常利用IGBT模块的被动加热和冷却(热循环)来测试,但这种试验会引起焊层失效(分层)。实际应用中,IGBT和二极管芯片是主动被加热的,诸如焊线脱落等其它模式的失效也会限制使用寿命,通常可通过功率循环试验来评估这种应力的影响。本文通过功率循环试验来评估衬底焊层的失效,利用高循环周次的测试进行有效的衬底焊层热循环试验,其关键在于功率循环过程中焊层温度的预测。在温度波动不大的条件下,比较了被动热循环和主动功率循环时对焊接寿命的影响。

Minimizing the Path Radius of Curvature for Collision Avoidance

When a driver is suddenly presented with an obstacle in his path, or realizes that his speed is too great for the curved road ahead, commonly he saturates both inputs of steering and braking and thereby jeopardizes his chances of successfully avoiding a collision or negotiating the turn. Although anti-lock braking systems (ABS) avoid saturation of the braking and steerability usually remains, there is evidence to suggest that the vehicle performance with this system could be greatly improved. Could the steering, in addition to the braking, be automatically controlled to improve the performance? Because these threatening situations are so variable, it is very difficult to find a controller which can override both driver inputs and is always beneficial. Using a very simple model of the vehicle, the concept of minimizing the average radius of curvature of the path through controlling both driver inputs is shown to always be beneficial, and worthwhile. The results also carry over to a more realistic model.
