Thermomechanical reliability of electronics has commonly been studied by employing the standard temperature cycling tests. However, due to the localized heating in modern consumer devices, power cycling can be considered a more realistic testing alternative. To better understand the correlation between the thermomechanical loadings caused by the accelerated tests and the real-life operation, a high-end portable device was used to study the stresses and strains induced during both test conditions.
