8、e general conclusion: power-on vibration is a valuable tool for exposing latent defects in electronic hardware with the eventual resultant improvement in product quality.Intermittencies in electronic circuitry can often be detected during vibration but may not be observed under ambient functional te
9、sting. These intermittencies may not reappear until after launch, where they sometimes degenerate into hard failures.Examples of these intermittencies include:a71 Component shorts due to internal conductive particles,a71 Loose or contaminated connectors,a71 Fractured component-to-board solder joints

This can be extremely useful in diagnosing the problem and formulating
11、corrective action. In vibration, it is advantageous to know in what environment, level, axis, and time the anomaly occurred. Also, this procedure allows a test to be discontinued at the time the anomaly occurs to avoid the potential for further damage.Impact of Non-Practice: A failure to conduct pow
