Accelerated Life Testing of One-shot Devices: Data Collection and Analysis

Provides authoritative guidance on statistical analysis techniques and inferential methods for one-shot device life-testing

Estimating the reliability of one-shot devices—electro-expolsive devices, fire extinguishers, automobile airbags, and other units that perform their function only once—poses unique analytical challenges to conventional approaches. Due to how one-shot devices are censored, their precise failure times cannot be obtained from testing. The condition of a one-shot device ca...
