Title: Using Uncertainty Analysis to Guide the Development of Accelerated Stress Tests (Presentation)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1126815

Extrapolation of accelerated testing to the long-term results expected in the field has uncertainty associated with the acceleration factors and the range of possible stresses in the field. When multiple stresses (such as temperature and humidity) can be used to increase the acceleration, the uncertainty may be reduced according to which stress factors are used to accelerate the degradation.
