Posted by: C K (lcheeken@dso.org.sg ) Organization:DSO National Laboratories Date posted: Wed Sep 8 22:57:05 US/Eastern 2004 Subject: ESS vs EWT Message: Recently, I came across some statements in MIL-STD-810F, Method 514.5 (pg 514.5-1, para 1.2e and Annex B, para 2.1.8) on ESS. In para 1.2e, it was written that "Where units do not necessarily receive the same exposures, such as multiple passes throuth ESS, apply the maximum allowable exposures to the units used for environmental test as pre-conditioning for the environment tests." In Annex B, para 2.1.8, it says EWT can be used to substitute ESS when the material is to be subjected to worthiness test and then used in the field. My questions are: 1) Can EWT really be used to substitute ESS for the scenerio mentioned in Annex B? 2) What if my unit is only subject to 1 grms vibration (human transportation) in field, is EWT of 1 grms, 10mins/axis for 3 axes sufficient to replace ESS? 3) If I conduct ESS on the said unit using 6 grms, 10 mins/axis (critical axis only), will it kill the unit? Kindly advise. Thanks.

Is there a conversion factor that I can use to reflect an AIF environment? PLEASE HELP.

Does anyone have a failure rate for simply the copper trace on a circuit board. I was thinking of using sections 16 of MIL-HDBK-217F but I don't think they apply. Thanks! Bob Valerius

Is there research done about how long it is possible to store electronic devices? Does anything happen if you store a cicuit for more than 20 years or is there a good chanse that everything works allright even after so many years. Is there any actions to take during storage to decrease the risk of failure? Thanks for any help on the subject! /Per
