4.3.6 Application of the local mass smearing method<br />

The third method to be applied is the local mass smearing method. In this method,<br />

the mass of each component is spread out over local regions of the PCB. So, the density<br />

of the PCB is locally increased. The value of this increase can be calculated by dividing<br />

the mass of each component by the product between the base area of the component and<br />

the thickness of the PCB. The increase of density caused by each component is presented<br />

in Table 4.5.<br />

Components Equivalent densities (kg/m 3 )<br />

P C 104 connector 15308.5<br />

I 2 C − EEP ROM 2717.2<br />

MAX 890 2335.3<br />

MSP 430 2068.2<br />

Crystal 32.768 kHz 3816.4<br />

JT AG connector 4275.9<br />

Table 4.5: Increases of density due to each component of the OBC 2 card<br />

The results are presented in Table 4.6 and in Figure 4.20.<br />

Corresponding modes Frequency deviations (%)<br />

2 25.98<br />

Table 4.6: Frequency deviations between corresponding modes using the local mass smearing<br />

method<br />

Once again, it can be remarked that the results are better than the ones obtained using<br />

the global mass smearing method. So, this method is more accurate than the preceding<br />

one (which is in accordance with the theory).<br />
