  • Abstract
    It is found that an aluminum conductor can fail due to a thermal stress caused by periodically applying rectangular power pulses to semiconducting devices that generate heat internally. The mean time to failure due to this process is calculated. The agreement between the calculated values and the experimental data is good.
