ACME Example

ACME manufacturing has implemented an accelerated testing program for their new design. A total of 40 units were tested at four different pressure levels. The operating stress level is 170 psi.

Do the following:

1) Determine the parameters of the inverse power law Weibull model.

2) Obtain the use level probability plot with 90% 2-sided confidence bounds on time.

3) Obtain the Life vs. Stress plot with 90% 2-sided confidence bounds.

Solution

1) The parameters of the IPL-Weibull model are estimated to be:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \beta =\ & 3.009236 \\ K=\ & 3.267923E-27 \\ n=\ & 10.218104 \end{align} }[/math]

2) The use level probability plot is shown next.

The probability plot at a use stress level.

The confidence bounds on time are the Type 1 bounds (Time Bounds) in ALTA.

The probability plot at a use stress level with 90% Type I confidence bounds.

3) Similarly, the Life vs. Stress plot with the confidence bounds can be obtained.
