Learn how ART and ADT can reduce cost, time, product recalls,
and customer complaints
This book provides engineers with the techniques and tools they
need to use accelerated reliability testing (ART) and accelerated
durability testing (ADT) as key factors to accurately predict a
product's quality, reliability, durability, and maintainability
during a given time, such as service life or warranty period. It
covers new ideas and offers a unique approach to accurate
simulation and integration of field inputs, safety, and human
factors, as well as accelerated product development, as components
of interdisciplinary systems engineering.
Beginning with a comprehensive introduction to the subject of
ART and ADT, the book covers:
* ART and ADT as components of an interdisciplinary systems of
systems approach
* Methodology of ART and ADT performance
* Equipment for ART and ADT technology
* ART and ADT as sources of initial information for accurate
quality, reliability, maintainability, and durability prediction
and product accelerated development
* The economical results of the usage of ART and ADT
* ART and ADT standardization
The book covers the newest techniques in the field and provides
many case studies that illuminate how the implementation of ART and
ADT can solve previously inaccessible problems in the field of
engineering, such as reducing product recalls, cost, and time
during design, manufacture, and usage. Professionals will find the
answers to how one can carry out ART and ADT technology in a
practical manner.
Accelerated Reliability and Durability Testing Technology is
indispensable reading for engineers, researchers in industry,
usage, and academia who are involved in the design of experiments,
field simulations, maintenance, reliabilty, durabilty, accurate
prediction, and product development, and graduate students in
related courses.
