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 ...

Most products are built to specifications that include some measure of reliability. In the design stage, FEA does a good job of pinpointing the weak spots in parts and assemblies. But the real test ...

The box or table of summary information produced on plots made with the PROBPLOT or MCFPLOT statement is called an inset. You can use the INSET statement to customize the information that is printed ...

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...

This example illustrates probability plotting and distribution fitting for data grouped by the levels of a special group-variable. The data are from an accelerated life test of an insulating fluid and ...
