Database Offers MEMS Device Failure Analysis Information ASM International has collaborated with Granta Design Ltd. to launch a database information system providing the screening, selection, and sourcing of materials information data. Relevant to the simulation task is export of materials data in a format that can then be immediately imported into modeling software. The ASM International MEMS materials database for packaging represents a new source for the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of materials appropriate to the range of MEMS packaging challenges facing device designers. This relational database comprises thousands of hours of data acquisition, peer review, and verification by specialists. Phase 1, which provides general data on microsystems packaging processes and materials, has been launched. The coupling of the database to failure analysis simulation is a major focus of the second phase of this resource. ASM International welcomes participation and interaction with the failure analysis community on this important aspect of the project.

community about a wide range of technical subjects, especially grips and fixtures. Entries to date have focused on the specifics of individual projects developed by the design team as well as important advice on Tinius Olsen equipment and global test standards. Most blog entries are supported with CAD images of the products being discussed. Visitors are encouraged to make it a participatory experience by posting their own messages about blog entries and receiving feedback from Tinius Olsen designers. The blog may be accessed at www. thetestingtimes.blogspot.com. For more information: Wayne Hayward, Marketing Manager, Tinius Olsen, 1065 Easton Rd., P.O.

Lasershot Peening of Landing Gear Components Improves Service Life A project funded and managed by the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences examined a variety of landing gear components that failed without having reached their desired service lives. The failures were due primarily to stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) and fatigue. The objective of this project was to improve the fatigue life and SCC resistance through the application of laser peening technology to selected components. The final report can be
