Impact-Resistant Heterogeneous Polyurethane Potting Protection for Electronic Devices: Experimental and Simulation Study
Potting protection technology plays a critical role in mitigating the failure of electronic devices under impact loading. Polyurethane
owing to its excellent mechanical properties
is considered an ideal potting material for impact protection of electronic components. In this study
two hardness-heterogeneous polyurethane potting materials were prepared
and four types of composite protective structures (fully soft
fully hard
hard-soft-hard
and soft-hard-soft) were designed. The mechanical properties of the two polyurethane materials and the impact characteristics of the four protective structures were experimentally investigated using an Instron 5966 electronic universal testing machine and a CEAST 9350 drop hammer impact tester
both manufactured by Instron
USA. Experimental results show that both polyurethane materials exhibit typical nonlinear viscoelastic mechanical behavior under different strain rates. Compared with the other three structures
the soft-hard-soft composite potting structure not only reduces impact force but also effectively limits the deformation of electronic devices
demonstrating superior comprehensive protective performance. Based on the experimental results
numerical simulations of the impact response of polyurethane potting protective structures were conducted using Abaqus transient finite element analysis software
in which the Z-W-T viscoelastic constitutive model was embedded to accurately describe the mechanical behavior of polyurethane. The simulation results indicate that
compared with the other three protective structures
the soft-hard-soft structure leads to lower and more uniformly distributed stress levels in the printed circuit board (PCB)
as well as smaller overall interfacial stress at the solder joints between the chip and the PCB. These findings further validate the significant effectiveness of the soft-hard-soft structure in enhancing the impact resistance of electronic devices.
