Life and Reliability Testing: A Method of Failure Distribution Sensitivity Analysis.
Abstract
The fourfold purpose of the paper is to: Present a general discussion of the concepts involved in reliability and life testing; Discuss some of the currently available life and reliability testing procedures based on the exponential, Weibull, and normal distributions; Develop two methods for evaluating the error incurred when an incorrect underlying failure distribution is assumed; Present some general results obtained by applying the error evaluation techniques developed.
