A global sensitivity approach for the dynamic response of printed wiring boards

This paper is concerned with the sensitivity of the dynamic response of printed wiring boards (PWB). A general method to study the sensitivity of the response of the board as a function of the variability of the design variables is presented. The method, which is based on a probabilistic approach, assumes that the design variables belong to a given interval and follow a known probabilistic distribution. © 1995 by ASME.
