... Many questions have been raised on how we can practically measure and predict the durability and service life of structural silicone sealants. Meanwhile, facade engineers have many requirements for the reliability of structural silicone sealants. Thus, accelerated reliability engineering...

... is and, second, what the reliability of each obtained result is. It is nearly impossible to answer these questions on the basis of a set of experimental measurements coming from these methods. Indeed, this approach is inevitably time-consuming and does not offer any guarantee as to the conclusions. The main...

... This paper presents the state-of-the-practice by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) in enhancing the reliability of pavement friction testing with the ASTM Standard E 274–97 [1] locked wheel tester. In order to detect the potential changes in system performance, INDOT conducts...

... Hygrothermal simulation programs (HSPs) have the potential to help the way building enclosures are designed if end users are convinced the results are reliable. However, HSPs suffer from a lack of manufacturer-specific material data. HSP users often “create” materials by scouring multiple...

... The improvement in rolling contact fatigue life is a key subject to increase the reliability of bearings. It has been well known that the fatigue properties are significantly affected by nonmetallic inclusions in steel. The rolling contact fatigue life may be divided into two types, according...

... made from M50 NiL material. The mechanical and thermo chemical pre-treatment of the surface can be replaced by an initial sputtering which improves the reliability of the process. Hardness profiles, microstructure, and residual stress profiles of the carburized zone are comparable to those from gas...

... A methodology is shown for predicting the time-dependent reliability of ceramic components against catastrophic rupture when subjected to transient thermomechanical loads (including cyclic loads). The methodology takes into account the changes in material response that can occur with temperature...

... A testing methodology is proposed to assess the durability and reliability of non-oxide continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic composites for high temperature applications. The strategy is based on determining the reliability of these materials when subjected to random loading schedules consisting...

... The reliability of gate oxides is becoming a critical concern as oxide thickness is scaled below 4 nm in future technology. The breakdown detection algorithms in traditional reliability characterization techniques must be modified for sub-4 nm thick SiO 2 films that exhibit excessive tunneling...

... This paper explores the reliability of intermedia transfer models as a function of both performance (i.e., validity) and specific decision objectives. The performance of selected models is gaged by measuring the error associated with practical model applications. Published volatile organic...
