Product Description
Accelerated Reliability Engineering Halt and Hass Gregg K. Hobbs Hobbs Engineering Corporation, Westminster, Colorado, USA Accelerated reliability engineering is becoming a popular industry alternative to ongoing product quality testing. Highly Accelerated Life Tests (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screens (HASS) are intensive methods which use stresses higher than the field environments to expose and then improve design and process weaknesses. HALT and HASS offer faster, cheaper and more accurate results than traditional reliability testing techniques. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the methods and philosophy behind this successful approach. Production managers will appreciate the timesaving and costeffective testing techniques described. Design engineers involved in quality assurance and students of reliability engineering will benefit from this unique resource detailing the technical aspects of accelerated reliability engineering. Features Include:
 Coverage of the physics of failure and useful testing equipment enabling those new to the area to grasp the concepts behind HALT and HASS
 Overview of the HALT technique demonstrating how to find design and process defects quickly using accelerated stress methodology during the design phase of the project
 Examination of detection screens and modulated excitation used to detect flaws exposed in HALT
 Description of how to set up a HASS profile and how to minimize costs whilst retaining efficiency
 Applications of HALT and HASS and analysis of common mistakes highlighting the pitfalls to avoid when implementing the methods
