Accelerated life testing (ALT) is widely implemented to investigate lifetime performance
within a condensed timeframe by imposing higher stress levels, inducing failures much …

This article deals with the case of the failure-censored constant-stress partially accelerated
life test (CSPALT) for highly reliable materials or products assuming the Pareto distribution …

In many life testing experiments, it is often more economical or practical to gauge
observations into groups rather than to record their actual measurements. In such situations …

We compare the practical efficiency of step-down and step-up stress accelerated life tests
based on four different criteria through theoretical studies, and intensive Monte-Carlo …

In this article the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters under step-stress
partially accelerated life tests (SSPALT) are obtained assuming the Weibull distribution with …

Accelerated life testing has now become the primary method for rapidly assessing product
reliability and designing efficient test plans is a vital step in ensuring that accelerated life …

Using traditional life tests in testing and reliability theory may result in extremely few failures
by the completion of the experiment, leading to poorer estimations. To get the required …

It is not easy to obtain more failure data from products with high quality and long life at
normal (use) condition. Thus, accelerated tests are needed in this respect. This paper …

This paper considers the case of Constant-Stress Partially Accelerated Life Testing
(CSPALT) when two stress levels are involved under type-I censoring. The lifetimes of test …

This article provides the optimum simple failure step stress partially accelerated life tests
(FSS-PALTs) and statistical inferences for the model parameters and acceleration factor in …
