Result

The following temperature non-thermal life stress relationship is used:

[math]\displaystyle{ \,\!L\left ( f,T \right )=Af^{B}e^{\left ( \frac{E_{a}}{kT} \right )} }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!f }[/math] is the switching rate, [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!T }[/math] is temperature. [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!L\left ( f,T \right ) }[/math] is the life characteristic affected by the two stresses. In ALTA, this life-stress relationship is called the "temperature non-thermal" model. This relationship also can be expressed as the following:

[math]\displaystyle{ \,\!ln\left ( L\left ( x_{1},x_{2} \right ) \right )=\alpha _{0}+\alpha _{1}x_{1}+\alpha _{2}x_{2} }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!x_{1}=\frac{1}{T} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!x_{2}=ln\left ( f \right ) }[/math] .

The failure time distribution is a Weibull distribution. The book has the following results:

  • The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) results for the parameters are: [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{0}=0.671 }[/math] , [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{1}=4640.1 }[/math] , [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{2}=-0.445 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\beta =1.805 }[/math].
  • The [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\eta }[/math] parameter in the Weibull distribution at temperature of 30°C (303.15 K) and switching rate of 5 cycles/minute is estimated as [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!4.244\times 10^{6} }[/math].
  • The estimated reliability at 200,000 cycles and temperature of 30°C (303.15 K) and switching rate of 5 cycles/minute is 0.996. Its one-sided lower 90% confidence bound is 0.992.
  • The two-sided 90% confidence interval for parameter [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{2} }[/math] is [-0.751, -0.160].


Results in ALTA

We will first perform the analysis using the general log-linear (GLL) life-stress relationship, and then compare its results with the temperature-nonthermal (TNT) life-stress relationship.


General Log-Linear (GLL)-Weibull Model

To use the GLL-Weibull model with the same life-stress relationship as the one in the book, the following stress transformations should be used:

Based on this model, the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) results for the parameters are:

Results in ALTA


These results are slightly different from the results given in the book (especially for [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{2} }[/math]). To see what the log likelihood value (LK Value) would be if we used the parameter values in the book, we use the Alter Parameters tool, as shown next.

The resulting LK Value for the altered parameters is -710.356064, as shown next.

Altered Parameters


This likelihood value is slightly smaller than the value that was originally calculated in ALTA, which was -710.268519. Therefore, the result in ALTA is better in terms of maximizing the log likelihood value.

Using the parameters originally calculated in ALTA:

  • The [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\eta }[/math] parameter in the Weibull distribution at temperature of 30°C (303.15 K) and switching rate of 5 cycles/minute is estimated as [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!4.172\times 10^{6} }[/math].
  • The estimated reliability at 200,000 cycles and temperature of 30°C (303.15 F) and switching rate of 5 cycles/minute is 0.996. Its one-sided lower 90% confidence bound is 0.992, as shown next.

  • The two-sided 90% confidence interval for parameter [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{2} }[/math] is [-0.751, -0.160], as shown next.

Temperature-Nonthermal (TNT)-Weibull Model

If we use the temperature-nonthermal life-stress relationship to analyze the data, the same results would be obtained, as shown in the following picture. Therefore, by selecting the appropriate stress transformations, a general log-linear model can become a temperature-nonthermal model.
