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 eta 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
In ALTA, the General log linear model can be used. To have the same life-stress relation as the one in the book, the following transformation should be used for each stress:
- The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) results for the parameters are:
- These results (especially [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{2} }[/math]) are slightly different from the one given in the book. If we use the results in the book, then the calculated log likelihood value is -710.268628 as given below.
- This likelihood value is slightly smaller than the value given in ALTA, which is -710.268519. Therefore, the result in ALTA is better in terms of maximizing the log likelihood value.
- The η 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.
- The two-sided 90% confidence interval for parameter [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\alpha _{2} }[/math] is [-0.751, -0.160].
If the temperature-Nonthermal relationship is used directly, the same results will be obtained. The following is the estimated model parameters for the temperature-nonthermal model in ALTA. By doing the right transformations for the stresses, a general log-linear model can become a temperature-nonthermal model.
