Accelerated Test Planning with Independent Competing Risks and Concave Degradation Path
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: A step-stress test in the presence of competing risks and using degradation measurements is considered. It is assumed that underlying degradation path follows a concave degradation model and the intensity functions corresponding to competing risks depend only on the level of degradation. In this work, information from step-stress test at high level of stress is extrapolated, through a tempered failure rate model, to obtain the estimates of intensity functions at normal use conditions. No assumptions are made about failure times distribution. Finally, the results are used to estimate reliability function.

A Partially Accelerated Life Test Planning with Competing Risks and Linear Degradation Path under Tampered Failure Rate Model
In this paper, we propose a method to model the relationship between failure time and degradation for a simple step stress test where underlying degradation path is linear and different causes of failure are possible. It is assumed that the intensity function depends only on the degradation value. No assumptions are made about the distribution of the failure times. A simple step-stress test is ...
متن کاملPlanning Accelerated Destructive Degradation Test with Competing Risks
Accelerated destructive degradation tests (ADDTs) are widely used in manufacturing industries to obtain timely product reliability information, especially in applications where few or no failures are expected under use conditions in tests of practical length. An ADDT plan specifies the test conditions of accelerating variables, running time, and the corresponding allocation of test units to eac...

Improving the product reliability is the main concern in both manufacturing and service processes which is obtained by monitoring the reliability-related quality characteristics. Nowadays, products or services are the result of processes with dependent stages referred to as multistage processes. In these processes, the quality characteristic in each stage is affected by the quality characterist...
متن کاملDynamic Multi Period Production Planning Problem with Semi Markovian Variable Cost (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper develops a method for solving the single product multi-period production-planning problem, in which the production and the inventory costs of each period arc concave and backlogging is not permitted. It is also assumed that the unit variable cost of the production evolves according to a continuous time Markov process. We prove that this production-planning problem can be Stated as a ...
متن کاملSome New Results on Policy Limit Allocations
Suppose that a policyholder faces $n$ risks X1, ..., Xn which are insured under the policy limit with the total limit of l. Usually, the policyholder is asked to protect each Xi with an arbitrary limit of li such that ∑ni=1li=l. If the risks are independent and identically distributed with log-concave cumulative distribution function, using the notions of majorization and stochastic orderings, ...
