Accelerated Reliability and Durability

This book will acquaint the reader with the evolving methodology and equipment for the accelerated reliability testing (ART) technology. The book describes a new and unique approach for the accelerated determination of a product's quality, reliability and maintainability. It presents new ideas and technologies for accurate ART, which are based on accurate simulation and simultaneous combinations of field inputs, thus offering the possibility of sufficient correlation between testing results and field results.In real life accelerated testing is a component of more complicated problems of accelerated solutions of product quality, reliability and maintainability. The unique approach of this book is that it shows the place of ART as a basic component of the problem with the integration, connection, and interactions of other components.

Lev M. Klyatis, HAB. DR.-ING., Sc.D, PHD, is Senior Consultant at SoHaR, Inc. and a member of the board of directors of the International Association of Arts Sciences in New York. His vast experience and innovation enabled him to create a new approach for the solution of reliability/durability/maintainability problems. Previously, Dr. Klyatis held posts as a professor, chairman, chair of department, consultant, and lecturer. He holds more than thirty patents worldwide, and is the author of dozens of papers as well as the books Successful Accelerated Testing and Accelerated Quality and Reliability Solutions.
