Cumulative Damage General Log-Linear - Exponential
Given $$n$$  time-varying stresses  $$\underline{X}=({{X}_{1}}(t),{{X}_{2}}(t)...{{X}_{n}}(t))$$, the life-stress relationship is:


 * $$\frac{1}{m\left( t,\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\, \right)}=s(t,\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,)={{e}^{-{{a}_{0}}-\underset{j=1}{\mathop{\overset{n}{\mathop{\mathop{\sum}_{}^{}}}\,}}\,{{a}_{j}}{{x}_{j}}(t)}}$$

where $${{\alpha }_{0}}$$  and  $${{\alpha }_{j}}$$  are model parameters. This relationship can be further modified through the use of transformations and can be reduced to the relationships discussed previously (power, Arrhenius and exponential), if so desired. The exponential reliability function of the unit under multiple stresses is given by:


 * $$R(t,\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,)={{e}^{-I(t,\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,)}}$$

where:


 * $$I(t,\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,)=\underset{0}{\mathop{\overset{t}{\mathop{\int_{}^{}}}\,}}\,\frac{du}$$

Therefore, the $$pdf$$  is:


 * $$f(t,\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,)=s(t,\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,){{e}^{-I(t,\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,)}}$$

Parameter estimation can be accomplished via maximum likelihood estimation methods, and confidence intervals can be approximated using the Fisher matrix approach. Once the parameters are determined, all other characteristics of interest can be obtained utilizing the statistical properties definitions (e.g. mean life, failure rate, etc.) presented in previous chapters. The log-likelihood equation is as follows:


 * $$\begin{align}

& \ln (L)= & \Lambda =\overset{Fe}{\mathop{\underset{i=1}{\mathop{\underset{}{\overset{}{\mathop \sum }}\,}}\,}}\,{{N}_{i}}\ln [s({{T}_{i}},{{\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,}_{i}})]-\overset{Fe}{\mathop{\underset{i=1}{\mathop{\underset{}{\overset{}{\mathop \sum }}\,}}\,}}\,{{N}_{i}}\left( I({{T}_{i}},{{\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,}_{i}}) \right) -\overset{S}{\mathop{\underset{i=1}{\mathop{\underset{}{\overset{}{\mathop \sum }}\,}}\,}}\,N_{i}^{\prime }\left( I(T_{i}^{\prime },\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,_{i}^{\prime }) \right)+\overset{FI}{\mathop{\underset{i=1}{\mathop{\underset{}{\overset{}{\mathop \sum }}\,}}\,}}\,N_{i}^{\prime \prime }\ln [R_{Li}^{\prime \prime }-R_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }] \end{align}$$

where:


 * $$\begin{align}

& R_{Li}^{\prime \prime }(T_{Li}^{\prime \prime },\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,_{i}^{\prime \prime })= & {{e}^{-I(T_{Li}^{\prime \prime },\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,_{i}^{\prime \prime })}} \\ & R_{Ri}^{\prime \prime }(T_{Ri}^{\prime \prime },\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,_{i}^{\prime \prime })= & {{e}^{-I(T_{Ri}^{\prime \prime },\overset{\_}{\mathop{x}}\,_{i}^{\prime \prime })}} \end{align}$$
