Vibration fatigue is one of the main mechanisms which will cause the failures of electronic devices. If the natural frequency of a PCB and its case do not obey octave rule, the vibration of the PCB and the case will couple with each other, and stress applied on PCB will be amplified, resulting in early failure. With Steinberg vibration fatigue prediction models, this paper studies the effect of vibration transmissibility on fatigue lifetime of electronic devices with consideration of coupling. ADAMS software is used to simulate and analyze the vibration transmissibility of electronic devices. The correction of vibration transmissibility in Steinberg model is given. In case study, vibration fatigue lifetimes that compute with corrected Steinberg model and the model without consideration of vibration transmissibility are compared. Effect of vibration transmissibility on electronic devices’ fatigue life is discussed.
