Securing the integrity of materials and assemblies against vibrational stresses
Embedded systems (electronic and optronic equipment, sensors, mechanical sub-assemblies) are subjected to severe vibrational stresses throughout their lifecycle: qualification testing, transport phases, and real-world operating conditions.
These stresses can cause gradual or sudden material failures: delamination, cracking, loss of adhesion, deformation, and interface ruptures.
