Abstract:The objective of this article is to conduct a full study on the failure times of items when subjected to a progressive-stress accelerated life test. These failure times follow the Modified Kies exponential distribution. We performed the experiments under a type-II censoring scheme with binomial removal. The stress design has two ways to be applied either the simple ramp-stress test or the multiple ramp-stress level design of acceleration. We made a comparison between these two designs to decide which design is… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
