FreeLists / si-list / [SI-LIST] [OT] Extreme vibration electronics

["Martin Euredjian" <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm looking for resources related to electronic design (boards, systems) for
high vibration and/or impact enviroments.

This isn't for airborne/military applications.  The applications I have in
mind might include such niceties as: rough handling, unprotected truck
transportation (maybe off-road), equipment falling to the ground
(accidentally) from 3 to 10 feet of height, impact, etc.

What is the state of the art for such things as keeping components from
breaking off the boards, solder-joint cracking/reliability, etc?  Is heavy
conformal coating used to protect boards mechanically as well as
environmentally?  What are the considerations regarding high-speed design
and SI on these kinds of boards?

Thanks,
