Durability fatigue tests for full-scale structures are essential to ensure the fatigue reliability
and operational safety of high-speed trains. An accelerated life test (ALT) method is first …

The failure-censored reliability tests available in the literature are applied when under the
assumption that all failure data/observations are precise, clear and determinate. But, in …

Background: Multi-stress accelerated life test (MALT) has obtained increasing attention in
reliability assessment due to its advantages. Started with constant-stress ALT with two stress …

In recent years, information entropy has been studied and developed rapidly across
disciplines as a measure of information value. In this article, the maximum likelihood …

In this paper, a multiple dependent state repetitive (MDSR) sampling plan based on the
lifetime performance index CL is proposed for lifetime data with type II censoring when the …

Monitoring life-testing trials for a product or substance often demands significant time and
effort. To expedite this process, sometimes units are subjected to more severe conditions in …

The object of this paper is to obtain point and interval estimations for the parameters of the
Weibull-exponential distribution (WED) based on step-stress partially accelerated life tests …

In lifetime tests, the waiting time for items to fail may be long under usual use conditions,
particularly when the products have high reliability. To reduce the cost of testing without …

With the rapid development of statistics, information entropy is proposed as an important
indicator used to quantify information uncertainty. In this paper, maximum likelihood and …

The paper discusses how to evaluate the reliability of units produced by different production
lines. The procedure is based on selecting independent random samples of units produced …
