[0053] The following further describes the method for quantifying the life of aerospace BDR modules based on heterogeneous information fusion proposed by the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description.
[0054] The present invention provides a method for quantifying the life of aerospace BDR modules based on heterogeneous information fusion, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0055] S1: Collect and mine historical failure analysis reports, field usage data, and field life test data of the faulty elements in the aerospace BDR module, analyze the main failure modes of the aerospace BDR module, and form a failure mode library for the aerospace BDR module as the main basis for fault mechanism identification. The faulty elements include: various components such as MOSFETs, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and physical connection points such as solder joints.
[0056] S2: Based on the failure mode library of the aerospace BDR module and the characteristics of the aerospace BDR module in all stages of missions, a basic process and implementation plan for the multi-stage mission failure mode, mechanism and effects analysis (FMMEA) of the aerospace BDR module is developed to determine the main failure mechanism of the aerospace BDR module, such as Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps are:
[0057] S21. From design, storage, transportation, launch, on-orbit operation to decommissioning, the phase tasks are named phase task 1 to phase task n in chronological order, and the failure elements of each phase are analyzed;
[0058] S22. Based on the failure mode library of the aerospace BDR module, sort out the possible failure modes, causes, and mechanisms of each failure element in the aerospace BDR module during all phases of the mission, and identify the possible failure mechanisms of the aerospace BDR module. Examples include package failure caused by component aging, overload, and mechanical damage, and performance degradation caused by component vibration fatigue, temperature fatigue, and impact damage.
[0059] S23. By analyzing the failure mechanisms of all phases of the mission and sorting them from high to low risk, the main failure mechanisms of the space BDR module were determined. These include package failure caused by overload of key components such as MOSFETs, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes, and performance degradation caused by thermal fatigue.

The specific steps are as follows:
[0061] S31. Considering that the aerospace BDR module is affected by environmental factors such as vibration, electrical stress, and radiation, after adopting the first-level derating and process control, conventional vibration and vacuum are set to simulate the actual working environment of the aerospace BDR module;
[0062] S32. Based on the multi-stage task failure mode, mechanism and impact analysis in step S2, and when it is determined that other failure mechanisms have little impact on the module life, conduct accelerated degradation experiments for overload and temperature fatigue.
[0063] S4. Based on the experimental data of key components such as MOSFET, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and solder joints that play a key role in the life of the aerospace BDR module, a component-level life quantification model is constructed for each key component. The specific steps are as follows:
[0064] S41.

[0079] Where t is the lifetime, ΔVth is the threshold voltage change, n is the time logarithmic coefficient, and m is the time logarithmic constant. Both n and m are obtained by fitting experimental data.
[0080] S5. Taking into account success / failure data, failure time data, and degradation data, a heterogeneous information fusion method is used to quantitatively model the system-level life of the aerospace BDR module. The usage of components such as MOSFETs, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and solder joints, as well as the structural layout within the module, are also considered. The short board effect is used to describe the system-level life. The specific steps are as follows:
[0081] S51. Under the Bayesian theory framework, the likelihood functions of success / failure data, failure time data, and degradation data are constructed separately. Then, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is used to fuse the three likelihood functions to obtain the joint posterior distribution, as shown in the following example: Figure 3 As shown;
[0082] S52. Based on Bayesian theory, the joint posterior distribution is used to estimate unknown parameters. Then, based on the parameter estimation results and the component-level lifetime quantification model, the lifetime of MOSFET, resistor, capacitor, inductor, diode, and solder joint failure elements is quantified.

Compare the theoretical lifespan values of the MOSFET, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and solder joints in the aerospace BDR module, and take the minimum lifespan as the lifespan of the system-level aerospace BDR module to obtain the predicted lifespan of the aerospace BDR module.
[0085] S6. Perform reliability evaluation on the system-level life quantification model based on the predicted life of the aerospace BDR module to determine whether the system-level reliability indicators meet the requirements. If not, return to step 4, rebuild the component-level quantitative model, and iterate and update steps S4 to S6 to establish component-level and system-level quantitative models that meet the requirements. If the reliability indicators meet the requirements, the modeling is considered complete and the system-level life quantification model update is stopped. The specific steps are as follows:
[0086] S61. Compare the obtained system-level reliability index root mean square error (RMSE) with the set index. The RMSE formula is as follows:
[0087]
[0088] Where q represents the number of predictions, x(i) represents the actual life of the historical data of the Aerospace BDR module, Represents the predicted life of the aerospace BDR module;
[0089] S62: If the set indicators are met, proceed to the next step; if the set indicators are not met, re-enter step S4 to rebuild the component-level and system-level life quantification models;
[0090] S7. Record the iterative update results of the life quantification model. After the iteration stops, output the life quantification model that meets the system reliability index, and finally determine it as the life quantification model of the aerospace BDR module.
[0091] In summary, the present invention can reliably predict the life of aerospace BDR modules by performing FMMEA analysis on the modules and then performing component-level and system-level life quantification modeling. The obtained life quantification method also provides a methodological support for guiding the life quantification of other aerospace electronic products.
