Accelerated Life Testing Analysis

Learn Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) models, analysis and test design using ReliaSoft's Weibull++ Accelerated Life Testing module.

Accelerated Life Testing Analysis covers the benefits, limitations, theory and procedure behind several, proven, accelerated test analysis methods. It explores advanced concepts and applications for quantitative accelerated life testing data analysis, including tests with multiple stresses, categorical stresses or time-dependent stresses. This builds on the life data analysis concepts covered in Fundamentals of Reliability. This course teaches attendees how quantitative accelerated life test data can be analyzed to make reliability predictions using the Weibull++ Accelerated Life Testing module via hands-on examples and case studies.

Online courses are delivered in real-time with a live instructor.

Learning objectives

• Understand the theory and practice of projecting life data models at high stress to use stress levels.
• Identify when and how to use different life-stress relationships.
• Calculate acceleration factors and compare reliability metrics between populations at different stress levels.
• Apply statistical tools for developing effective accelerated test designs and verifying the validity of calculated results.
• Make reliability estimates based on accelerated life test results using reliability statistics, plots and confidence intervals.

Topics included

• Life-stress relationships for different failure phenomena
• Single, multiple and time-varying stress calculations
• Categorical stress analysis and comparison
• Accelerated degradation analysis
• Accelerated life test planning
• Stress modeling validation
