CONTRIBUTED Reliability 2
- Antonio Pievatolo (CNR-IMATI)
In Aerospace industry, high reliability and safety standarts must be ensured in order to eliminate hazards, where possible, and minimize risks where those hazards cannot be eliminated. Special attention is also paid to aircraft availability, a measure of the percentage of time aircraft can be flown on training or missions, and flying hours per aircraft per year, since this metric is usually...
The development of a complex technical system can usually be described along a V-process (c.f., e.g., Forsberg and Mooz (1994)). It starts with the identification of the system requirements and allocates them top-down to subsystems and components. Verification activities start, where possible, on the component level and should be integrated bottom-up in the subsystem and system...
Due to the increasingly global market competition, manufacturers are always required to demonstrate the reliability of their productions exceeds a given standard. Since reliability demonstration tests (RDTs) can be expensive and time-consuming, especially for high-reliability products, careful planning of the acceptance rule and determining suitable sample size are desired. In this paper, an...
Accelerated degradation testing (ADT) provides an efficient experimental approach to collect lifetime-related data for the reliability assessment of highly reliable products under normal use stress. Recoverability, which occurs in many typical failure modes when online in-chamber measurements have to be replaced by offline ex-chamber measurements with stress released, is an important factor...
