A designed approach to accelerated reliability testing
Abstract
Software for automating the design and setup of accelerated reliability tests is being developed at the Air Force Rome Laboratory and Aeronautical Systems Division. An environmentally stressful, factorial/split-plot experimental design is considered. This approach makes it possible to quantify the relationships of various stresses and the effect of each type of stress on the components's failure rate. These quantified relationships are combined in a cumulative stress, failure rate acceleration model to establish the operational reliability of the component.
