Electronics have become pervasive in society with an expanding array of internet of things devices, hand-held smart phones, personal computers, and wearable electronics. Further with safety systems, such as fire alarms, toxic gas sensors, vehicle automatic braking systems, vehicle stability control systems, and engine control systems, electronics have become an integral factor in keeping people protected from potential injury and death. With this increased reliance on electronics, the ability determine use life of electronics is increasingly important. Effective life estimation is important in product qualification, as well and in developing product warranties and appropriate maintenance schedules. To this end, the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) has developed and continues to enhance its Simulation Assisted Reliability Assessment (SARA) software.

This webinar will present CALCE SARA Release 8.3.0.

About Presenter: Michael Osterman is a Senior Research Scientist and the director of the CALCE Electronic Products and System Consortium at the University of Maryland. He heads the development of simulation assisted reliability assessment software for CALCE and simulation approaches for estimating time to failure of electronic hardware under test and field conditions. He has consulted with automotive, medical, defense, and industrial electronic companies on the transition to lead-free materials. He organized and chaired the International Symposium on Tin Whiskers from 2007 to 2013. He has written eight book chapters and over 120 articles. He is a senior member of IEEE and a member of ASME, and SMTA.
