Reliability Engineering - Webinar 4: Accelerated Life Testing Using Statistical, FEA & CFD Methods
Wednesday 16 September 2009 - 14.00 - 15.00
Four FREE Webinar Sessions
Our four FREE webinar sessions introduce key concepts to consider when you are looking to improve your engineering functions. All sessions are held on a Wednesday afternoon from 14.00 - 15.00, on the dates indicated below in brackets.
- Introduction to Reliability Engineering (29th July)
- Managing Risk Using FME(C)A Including FEA & CFD Approaches (12th August)
- Optimising Designs Using DOE With Real & Virtual (FEA & CFD) Test Data (2nd September)
- Accelerated Life Testing Using Statistical, FEA and CFD Methods (16th September)

The webinar series concludes with an optional, but highly recommended, 3-day residential theory training course in Manchester, focusing on the entire set of statistical methods and tools that support Design for Reliability (DFR) initiatives from initial concept through to production.
Webinar 4: Accelerated Life Testing Using Statistical, FEA & CFD Methods
Accelerated Life Testing techniques uses test conditions and stresses that are more aggressive than those experienced under normal use - to provide long term reliability information on a product, component or system. It is an important approach for qualifying high reliability products as 'fit-for-purpose' and can provide reliability information in a very short time scale with limited sample sizes.
This webinar discussed the general approach and how statistical methods can contribute to efficient testing. Furthermore, showed how FEA & CFD engineering simulation can be utilised to run accelerated life tests 'virtually' as a complement or alternative to physical trials, depending on the development stage of the product or process.
