termiskMisslyckande
termiskMisslyckande is a term used in Swedish-language engineering discourse to describe a class of failures in technical systems caused by thermal factors. It covers incidents where overheating, thermal cycling, or other heat-related stresses lead to degraded performance, malfunction, or sudden breakdown. The concept applies across electronic, mechanical, and electro-mechanical domains, including batteries, motors, transformers, power electronics, and engines.
Etymology and usage: The word combines termisk (thermal) with misslyckande (failure). It is common in industry
Causes and mechanisms: Core drivers include excessive temperatures, thermal runaway in chemical cells, thermal cycling that
Indicators and measurement: Detection relies on temperature sensors, infrared thermography, and thermal impedance measurements. Operational indicators
Examples and domains: Lithium-ion battery packs during rapid charging, power transformers in data centers, CPUs and
Prevention and mitigation: Effective thermal management is central—design margins, efficient cooling, proper thermal interface materials, and
