Combined with the actual project, a grating ruler accelerated life test device is designed, which can simulate the actual loads, including temperature, humidity and speed stress. An accelerated life test scheme based on stepped stress loading is proposed, and 6 grating rulers are tested based on time-censored test method. An accelerated life model based on Weibull distribution used for evaluating the lifetime is established. Related experimental techniques also can be typical application cases for innovative practical teaching.

An accelerated life model is an important factor affecting the evaluation of test data. Avoiding the existent difficulties of treating mixed data and based on the grey theory with composite GM(1,1) model, approach is presented for treating fatigue data under constant stress amplitude accelerated life tests. Availability of the approach has indicated by an example.

This study proposes a modification for the binary logistic regression to treat time-dependent covariates for reliability studies. The proportional hazard model (PHM) properties are well suited for modeling survival data when there are categorical predictors; as it compares hazards to a reference category. However, time-dependent covariates present a challenge for the analysis as stratification does not produce hazards for the covariate stratified or creation of dummy time-dependent covariates faces difficulty on selecting the time interval for the interaction and the coefficient results may be difficult to interpret. The findings show that the logistic regression can provide equal or better results than the PHM applied for reliability analysis when time-dependent covariate is evaluated. The PHM is potentially preferred to address data set without time-dependent variables as it does not require any data manipulation. The logistic regression ignores the information on timing of the events; which is corrected by breaking each subject survival history into a set of discrete time intervals that are treated as distinct observations evaluated as a binary distribution. Recurrent events can be addressed by both methods with proper correction for lack of heterogeneity. The application of the modified logistic regression model for the study of reliability is innovative and with readily potential application for step-stress time-dependent accelerated life testing.
