Cumulative Damage General Log-Linear Relationship
This section presents a generalized formulation of the cumulative damage model where multiple stress types are used in the analysis and where the stresses can be any function of time.
Cumulative Damage General Log-Linear - Exponential
Given
time-varying stresses
, the life-stress relationship is:

where
and
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:

where:

Therefore, the pdf is:

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:
![{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}&\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{aligned}}\,\!}](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/69b66af78fd19e34093b2d91d9ad9570264b43ea)
