  • Abstract
    Reliability tests and simulated results on medium power components are discussed in this paper. This study is based on statistical data coming from thermal cycling tests (TCT, air-air test) and thermal shock tests (TST, liquid-liquid test), which are correlated with information coming from failure analysis and compared to results issued from 3D finite element (FE) analysis.
