Abstract:

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 problem of choosing the optimal time for 3-step step-stress tests under compound linear plan was initially attempted by Khamis and Higgins [16]. We ever first have developed a generalized compound linear plan for multiple-step step-stress setting using variance-optimality criteria. Some numerical examples are discussed to illustrate the proposed procedures.

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...

Optimum Constant-stress and Step-stress Accelerated Life Tests under Time and Cost Constraints

By running life tests at higher stress levels than normal operating conditions, accelerated life testing quickly yields information on the lifetime distribution of a test unit. The lifetime at the design stress is then estimated through extrapolation using a regression model. To conduct an accelerated life test efficiently with constrained resources in practice, several decision variables such ...

Design of Optimum Simple Step-Stress Accelerated Life Testing Plans

Accelerated life testing (ALT) is widely conducted to obtain failure-time data in a much shorter time and to make inference about reliability at normal conditions. The accuracy of the reliability prediction is dependent on well-designed ALT plans. A stepstress ALT allows the test condition to change at a given time or upon the occurrence of a specified number of failures. In this paper, we prop...

Mathematical Modeling of Optimum 3 Step Stress Accelerated Life Testing for Generalized Pareto Distribution

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...

Optimal 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...
