Verschleiß erkennen bevor es zum Ausfall kommt? Verfügbarkeit während der Laufzeit erhöhen durch gezielte Leistungsbegrenzung bei maximaler Performance? Diese Themen und noch mehr unterstützen wir am Fraunhofer ENAS durch unsere Simulationsentwicklung. Nach der Simulation analysieren wir den Zustand und das Versagen mit umfangreichen Methoden (CT, SAM, REM, EBSD, Mikroskopie, Warpage,...). Die Erkenntnisse fließen wieder in die Physics-of-Failure ein.
How can the condition of electronic components in use be successfully calculated to ensure their optimal performance and reliability, as well as to efficiently predict upcoming maintenance and repair needs or their end of life? FEM (finite element method) simulations, which are computer-based methods that can represent the physical behavior of components, are well established for such lifetime calculations of electronic components, e. g. during the development process. However, they are less suitable for condition monitoring as they require high computational resources and are therefore too time-consuming for in-situ assessments. Here, fast computational, neural network-based surrogate models can be trained to replace these FEM simulations. These surrogate models can then be used for condition monitoring and the calculation of the resulting remaining useful life of electronic components, converters and systems in real-time. Such an approach to calculate the current condition as well as the remaining useful life of electronic components by utilizing surrogate models trained with thermo-mechanical finite element simulations will be the topic presented by our colleague Tobias Horn at the 𝗘𝗖𝗣𝗘 𝗛𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀: 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗼-𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗜 𝗧𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗮𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗜 𝟵 𝗮.𝗺.
