ACCELERATED TESTING : a practitioner's guide to accelerated and reliability testing.

The scientific theory of accelerated testing is highly developed, but the application of this theory has proven difficult, especially in the mobility industries. The required design life for many components exceeds 10 years, and the application environment is harsh and highly variable. Despite the difficulty, the application of accelerated
testing theory can result in considerable time and cost savings, as well as increasing a product’s useful life. By presenting accelerated testing from a practical viewpoint, this book is both a valuable text for practitioner and ideal text for a college course. In Accelerated Testing:
A Practitioner’s Guide to Accelerated and Reliability Testing, readers are exposed to the latest, most practical knowledge available in this dynamic and important discipline. Authors draw on their considerable experience in the field to present comprehensive, insightful views in this book.
Readers have access to a wealth of free resources including:• Microsoft Excel templates: Various types of templates used for calculations in the book are available for as a free download including templates for statistical tables, burn-in optimization, and random number generator (Weibull, normal, lognormal, and exponential distributions).
