Abstract :
This paper describes first results of an ongoing research project on development of an automated procedure of fatigue life assessment of flexible printed circuits (FPCs) by finite element simulation combined with optimization analysis. The methodology is implemented as a plug-in for ABAQUS/CAE. Issues related to fatigue analysis of FPCs are discussed. Initial results of sensitivity analysis are also presented
