The possible failure modes of the multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) under board-level shock environment are studied through modeling, simulation and experiment. In this work, a finite element model ...

It is a well-known reality of rescuing certain older electronic devices that, at some point, you’re likely going to have to replace a busted capacitor. This is the stage [Kevin] is at in the 3rd ...

What's more, some NASA officials believe it could lead to "a catastrophic failure" of the station, Bob Cabana, the chair of the agency's ISS Advisory Committee, said during a public meeting.
