Accelerated Life Testing and Aging

2022
Abstract Accelerated life testing and aging methodologies are increasingly being used to generate engineering data for determining material property degradation and service life (or fitness for purpose) of plastic materials for hostile service conditions.

On a bivariate accelerated life test

Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 1987
Consider a product which consists of two dependent components whose lifetimes follow the bivariate exponential distribution of \textit{H. W. Block} and \textit{A. P. Basu}, J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 69, 1031-1037 (1974; Zbl 0299.62027). Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of the joint distribution of the lifetimes is discussed when the data ...

Accelerated Life Testing

2014
Methods of accelerated life testing are applied to several kinds of progressively censored data. This includes step-stress testing as well as progressive stress models.

A Technique for Accelerated Life Testing

Journal of Engineering for Industry, 1970
If it is assumed that test specimens fail as soon as the damage accumulated in them reaches some definite amount, then a simple accelerated testing technique can be devised. Some specimens are failed under uniform accelerated conditions, while others are foiled partly under normal conditions and partly under accelerated conditions, and a graphical ...

PLANNING FOR ACCELERATED LIFE TESTS

International Journal of Reliability, Quality and Safety Engineering, 1999
We present two alternative perspectives to the current way of planning for constant-stress accelerated life tests (CSALTs) and step-stress ALT (SSALT). In 3-stress CSALT, we consider test plans that not only optimize the stress levels but also optimize the sample allocation.

Testing of Hypotheses for Distributions in Accelerated Life Tests

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1982
Abstract In this paper we consider the problem of inference from accelerated life tests in which a common parametric family of life distributions at the different stress levels is not specified in advance. By assuming a time transformation function, which is a version of the familiar inverse power law, we give a procedure for testing hypotheses that ...

Accelerated life tests for products of unequal size

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1996
This paper considers 'estimation of the lifetime distribution' and 'optimal design of constant-stress accelerated life test plans' for products of unequal size. The distribution is Weibull with a scale parameter that is a 'log-linear function of stress' and a 'power function of product size with a size-effect parameter'.

On the Life Prediction and Accelerated Testing of Solder Joints

Thermo-Mechanical Characterization of Evolving Packaging Materials and Structures, 1998
Abstract A critical review of the life prediction and accelerated testing of solder joints, including the role of constitutive modeling and the factors of accelerated testing, is presented in this paper. As a perfect example, Ford solder joint specimen was used to investigate accelerated testing factors under various accelerated testing ...

Challenges in accelerated life testing

The Ninth Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena In Electronic Systems (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37543), 2004
Accelerated testing typically targets-life estimation and defect or design weakness identification. The intent is to obtain more information from a given test time than would normally be possible. Time compression is typically achieved by acceleration of single or combination of stresses- temperature, vibration, humidity, etc. Short product development

Bayesian Methods for Planning Accelerated Life Tests

Technometrics, 2006
This article describes Bayesian methods for accelerated life test planning with one accelerating variable, when the acceleration model is linear in the parameters, based on censored data from a log-location-scale distribution. We use a Bayesian criterion based on estimation precision of a distribution quantile at a specified use condition to find ...
