Just to add to what others have said, I was assuming single no redundancy failure mode. If the product being tested has m-of-n redundancy, things get very complicated very quickly. In other words, if a shelf of 8 modules can continue to run after 2 of the modules fail, that product has a

First, I am no expert on accelerated life testing. However, I do know that life testing depends a good deal on the nature of the product. In other words, how will it be used, how often will it be used, and what are its failure modes? An electric pencil sharpener may be used only five to ten t

I know it sounds as an out-of-topic for the emc-pstc mailing list. Anyway somebody could have good links. I am looking for some general advice for designing a burn-in process during the in-line manufacturing of some electromedical devices. I would like to answer basic questions like: What kind of
