摘要:

Variable-stress accelerated life testing trials are experiments in which each of the units in a random sample of units of a product is run under increasingly severe conditions to get information quickly on its life distribution. We consider a fatigue failure model in which accumulated decay is governed by a continuous Gaussian processW(y) whose distribution changes at certain stress change points to <tl< < … <tk, Continuously increasing stress is also considered. Failure occurs the first timeW(y) crosses a critical boundary ω. The distribution of time to failure for the models can be represented in terms of time-transformed inverse Gaussian distribution functions, and the parameters in models for experiments with censored data can be estimated using maximum likelihood methods. A common approach to the modeling of failure times for experimental units subject to increased stress at certain stress change points is to assume that the failure times follow a distribution that consists of segments of Weibull distributions with the same shape parameter. Our Wiener-process approach gives an alternative flexible class of time-transformed inverse Gaussian models in which time to failure is modeled in terms of accumulated decay reaching a critical level and in which parametric functions are used to express how higher stresses accelerate the rate of decay and the time to failure. Key parameters such as mean life under normal stress, quantiles of the normal stress distribution, and decay rate under normal and accelerated stress appear naturally in the model. A variety of possible parameterizations of the decay rate leads to flexible modeling. Model fit can be checked by percentage-percentage plots.
