Accelerated Life Tests under Competing Weibull Causes of Failure.
Abstract
Accelerated life testing of a product under more severe than normal condition is commonly used to reduce test time and cost. Data collected at such accelerated conditions is used to obtain estimates of parameters of a stress translation function which is then used to make inference about the products performance under normal conditions. This problem is considered when the product is a p component series system which Weibull distributed component lifetimes having a common shape parameter. A general stress translation function is used and estimates of model parameters are obtained for various censoring schemes. (Author)
