How can systems be designed to guard against unexpected downtime? How does system reliability impact product development? In what ways can artificial intelligence and machine learning improve system ...

Demand for lower defect rates and higher yields is increasing, in part because chips are now being used for safety- and mission-critical applications, and in part because it’s a way of offsetting ...

Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

What unreliable components to consider removing from electronic designs. High-reliability circuit designs and best practices for PCB layout and wiring. How to implement software techniques that ...

As integrated circuit (IC) designs continue to scale, the demand for efficient power management, performance optimization and reliable physical layout modification grows more critical. Meeting these ...

An insurer claims manager told a risk conference audience four years ago that “in case you’ve been on another planet, there have been hundreds of design-build lawsuits.” An ENR story headline in ...

For decades, megaprojects in every industry have been designed to provide specific functionality or value with delivery and commissioning as the end goal. Large process and refinery projects, such as ...

New cars cost a lot these days. The average price sits at $48,000, which matches the cost of a small house in many places.

In search of improved design, Reliability Based Design Optimization using probabilistic constraints has evolved as a powerful tool, however extensive computational efforts necessary for RBDO being one ...

"With great power comes great responsibility," says Spider-Man's wise Uncle Ben. Who knew he was really talking about electronic design, FETs, source nets, and switching frequencies? Power MOSFETs are ...
