This study proposes an optimal accelerated life test (ALT) design process for gears and bearings using a novel equivalent damage method (EDM). The process first calculates the damage incurred by each ...

Step-Stress Accelerated Degradation Test (SSADT) has been extensively employed in reliability assessment of degradation-induced failure products, with growing attention focused on its optimal design.

Environmental and qualification testing play a critical role in this process. As device geometries shrink and packaging technologies become more complex, environmental stress testing provides a ...
