Design for reliability of power electronics modules
A first in presenting a physics-of-failure approach to predicting lifetime/reliability of wirebonds, solder joints and bussbars for power electronics modules. Output contributed to award of two new grants - Robustness design & health management in power electronics using damage mechanics based models (RODENT, Funded by EPSRC/IeMRC , SP/03/02/11), and the FP7 Clean Skies project PEMREL (Grant No. 271788). The output is significant as the developed models are providing our industrial partners with design rules and reliability predictions for new power electronics module designs (Liam Mills, R&D Manager, Liam.Mills@semelab-tt.com), (Steve Jones, R&D Manager, Steve_Jones@dynexsemi.com).
