Hello All<\/p>\n

I have a query related to boundary conditions for my vibration simulation test carried out on multilayer PCB.<\/p>\n

I have fixed the PCB on vibration fixture using 4 Nos. of M3 screws+ Plain washer+ Spring Washer using aluminum spacer (ID:3.5 mm , OD: 7mm & Length 10mm) between PCB bottom and vibration fixture top and a torque of 58N-cm is applied on the screws. (refer attached figure)<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In actual vibration test first mode natural frequency observed is 136Hz.<\/p>\n

When i am simulating the same in Ansys workbench my first mode natural frequency is 156 Hz.<\/p>\n

Equivalent mechanical properties of PCB are:<\/p>\n

E =28.45 GPa & Poisson’s ratio : 0.13 density : 2420 kg\/m^3<\/p>\n

PCB dimensions are : 200 x 150 x 2.404 mm<\/p>\n

Base PCB mass : 175 gm<\/p>\n

For my simulation , i have assumed isotropic material for PCB with above properties and hole edges (neglecting the aluminium spacers) are taken as fixed boundary condtion in place of washer area , frequency obtained is 152 Hz.<\/p>\n

I tried with PCB trace mapping technique also. In that case , I used Ansys FR4 & copper properties for the PCB and again fixed boundary condition is taken as hole edges , again natrual frequency observed is <\/p>\n

I have not done pre-stress modal analysis and no damping assumed.<\/p>\n

I think there is something wrong in my boundary condition that the reason my simulation results are not matching with actual vibration test.<\/p>\n

Should i consider aluminium spacer also in simulation?<\/p>\n

please let me know where i am doing wrong.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-311369","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["23863","58821"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.218.248.146"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["504"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["311369"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["23863","58821"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["313889"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["313889"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-10-30 08:17:40"]},"test":"umesh_maheshwarisac-isro-gov-in"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/311369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/311369\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
