Accurate lifetime prediction of lithium-ion batteries is a great challenge for the researchers and engineers involved in battery applications in electric vehicles and satellites.  In this study, a semi-empirical model is introduced to predict the capacity loss of lithium-ion batteries as a function of charge and discharge cycles, operational time, and temperature. The model parameters are obtai...

‎Lindley distribution has received considerable attention in the statistical literature due to its simplicity‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider the problem of predicting the failure times of experimental units that are censored in a right-censored sample‎‎ when the underlying lifetime is Lindley distributed‎. ‎The maximum likelihood predictor‎, ‎the Bes...

Prediction on the basis of censored data is very important topic in many fields including medical and engineering sciences. In this paper, based on progressive Type-II right censoring scheme, we will discuss Bayesian two-sample prediction. A general form for lifetime model including some well known and useful models such asWeibull and Pareto is considered for obtaining prediction bounds ...

In MANETs, the network’s wireless topology may be unpredictable and may change rapidly. The widely varying mobility characteristics are expected to have significant impact on the performance of the routing protocol. A host may lose its energy or roam independently without informing to its cooperative nodes, causing changes in network topology, and thus, these changes cause overwhelming affect i...

Thermal effects are becoming a limiting factor in high-performance circuit design due to the strong temperature-dependence of leakage power, circuit performance, IC package cost and reliability. Temperature-aware design tries to maximize performance under a given thermal envelope through various static and dynamic approaches. While existing interconnect reliability models assume a constant temp...

Useful lifetime evaluation of railpads were very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability. It is, therefore, necessary to establish a suitable criterion for the replacement period of rail pads. In this study, we performed properties and accelerated heat aging tests of rail pads considering degradation factors and all environmental conditions including operation, and th...
