Accelerated life testing : Analysis and optimization

چکیده
This paper describes a methodology to conduct a sequential test defined by an optimal accelerated testing plan. This test plan is based on an economic approach defined in previous work, a prior knowledge on reliability parameters (choice of reliability function, scale and shape parameters ...) and acceleration model (choice of model, model parameters ...) to evaluate the proportions of failure at each accelerated level. When conducting a test, it is possible to verify the compatibility of results with prior knowledge from a consistency criterion that measures the compatibility between prior distribution and likelihood provided by the data. We can also reduce the censoring time in case of "Good results" while keeping the same level of risk. This possibility is authorized because the robust test is longer than basic optimal test plan. In the process of product development, we will use the qualification. Qualification is an application-specific process involving the evaluation of the product with respect to its quality and reliability. The purpose of qualification is to define the acceptable range of variability for all critical product parameters affected by design and manufacturing. The methodology will be illustrated by a numerical example.

Design and Analysis of Step Stress Accelerated Life Tests for Censored Data}
Life testing often is consuming a very long time for testing. Therefore, the engineers and statisticians are looking for some approaches to reduce the running time. There is a recommended method for reducing the time of failure, such that the stress level of the test units will increase, and then they will fail earlier than normal operating conditions. These approaches are called accelerated li...
متن کاملDesign of Accelerated Life Testing Plans for Products Exposed to Random Usage
< p>Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) is very important in evaluating the reliability of highly reliable products. According to ALT procedure, products undergo higher stress levels than normal conditions to reduce the failure times. ALTs have been studied for various conditions and stresses. In addition to common stress such as temperature and humidity, random usage can also be considered as anoth...

Fatigue characteristics of asphalt binder have an important role in asphalt mix resistance against cracking. Viscoelastic Continuum Damage (VECD) analysis of asphalt binders has been successfully used in highway research works in order to predict fatigue behavior of hot mix asphalt (HMA). In this method an intrinsic property of the material, called damage function is obtained which is independe...

In many of the studies concerning Accelerated life testing (ALT), the log linear function between life and stress which is just a simple re-parameterization of the original parameter of the life distribution is used to obtain the estimates of original parameters but from the statistical point of view, it is preferable to work with the original parameters instead of developing inferences for the...

In this paper, we consider an i.e., multiple step-stress accelerated life testing (ALT) experiment with unequal duration of time . It is assumed that the time to failure of a product follows Rayleigh distribution with a log-linear relationship between stress and lifetime and also we assume a generalized Khamis-Higgins model for the effect of changing stress levels. Taking into account that the...
