This paper presents, in a case study format, a methodology for combining the methods of Design of Experiments, Accelerated Testing, and Weibull Analysis to improve the reliability of an ABS ...

Here’s a way to calculate the reliability for designs with several subsystems. • Weibull plots fit a curve through data, not data to a predetermined distribution’s curve. • After evaluating subsystems ...

This paper addresses a common problem associated with data analysis when a 1st failure in n, Weibull analysis is used. This is known among Weibull practitioners as the method of "sudden death".

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged as a cornerstone of modern lighting technologies, and ensuring their reliability and optimal performance is both a technical and economic imperative. Recent ...

Motion control solutions that deliver high power density in a small package can add value in a broad range of applications—including industrial power tools, surgical instruments, robotics, aerospace ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) transistors have certainly increased power system performance and lowered the relative cost of components. But when it comes to quality and reliability, how does GaN stack up ...

Lighting technology has changed significantly in recent years after a century of little to modest advancements. The incandescent light bulb has served its purpose well, providing illumination albeit ...

In today’s world, so-called “high-performance, sustainable” facilities are a dime a dozen. But many of these buildings rely on overly complex mechanical systems to carry out their mission. While these ...
