Use of Component Documentation for Counterfeit Detection

Diganta Das [CALCE/ University of Maryland]

Workshop Description: 

In this workshop, Dr. Diganta Das will use several sources of information including part data sheets, qualification reports, process change notifications, material declarations, and prior counterfeit reports to show how to use such information to assist in counterfeit detection.

Each type of documentation will be introduced with examples, and virtual exemplars will be created for counterfeit detection.
