Mil/aero: The weakest link - have you considered the cabling?

摘要

Identifying possible causes for failure, and the prevention thereof, is critical for systems in aerospace and defence applications, particularly where extreme shock and vibration are prevalent, as well heat, dust, moisture or chemicals. It is often said that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and, for that very reason, engineers tend to focus their reliability testing on the interconnects.
