Optimum Step-Stress PADT Plan Using Wiener Process
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: This paper deals with the design of Optimal Step-Stress Partially Accelerated Degradation Test (PADT) using Wiener Process for modelling degradation paths. In partial step-stress loading, the unit is tested at usual stress for some time and then stress is accelerated. This helps in preventing over-stressing the test specimens. Failure occurs when the performance characteristic crosses the critical value the first time. The first passage time follows Inverse Gaussian Distribution. The optimal plan consists in determining the optimal test duration, and number of inspections at each intermediate stress level by minimizing asymptotic variance of MLE of th q quantile of the lifetime distribution at use condition subject to the constraint that total testing or experimental cost does not exceed a pre-specified budget.

OPTIMUM GENERALIZED COMPOUND LINEAR PLAN FOR MULTIPLE-STEP STEP-STRESS ACCELERATED LIFE TESTS
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...
متن کاملDesign 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 کاملOptimal step-stress accelerated degradation test plan for Gamma process
Step-stress accelerated degradation test (SSADT) is a useful tool for assessing the lifetime distribution of highly reliable products (under a normal-use condition) when the available test items are very few. Recently, an optimal SSADT plan has been proposed in the literature which is based on the assumption that the underlying degradation path follows a Wiener process. However, the degradation...

This article contains the optimum 3 step stress accelerated life test under cumulative exposure model. The lifetimes of test units are assumed to follow a generalized Pareto distribution. The scale parameter of the used failure time distribution at the constant stress level is assumed to have a log-linear and quadratic relationship with the stress. A comparison between linear plan and quadratic...
متن کاملOptimal Planning of Failure-Step Stress Partially Accelerated Life Tests under Type II Censoring
Abstract This paper considers optimum plans for failure-step stress partially accelerated life tests with two stress levels under type-II censoring assuming Weibull distribution as a lifetime model. The optimum test plans determine the optimum proportion of test units failing at each stress according to a certain optimality criterion. The D-optimality criterion is considered. Some numerical ill...
