Abstract:
      Considering designers′interests in accuracy estimation of model parameters, D optimization was proposed to design CSADT (Constant Stress Accelerated Degradation Testing), while traditional optimization method aims at the prediction accuracy of parameters related to reliability and lifetime of products. Stochastic process was used to describe a typical CSADT problem. The optimization problem was established by defining Fisher information matrix based on log-likelihood function. Under the constraint that the total experimental cost does not exceed a predetermined budget, optimization test variables, including stress levels, sample size, and testing time, at each stress level are given. Simulation examples were presented to demonstrate the proposed method. Sensitivity analyses showed that the optimization plan is robust within acceptable difference from the assumed value of parameters.
