This example compares the results of a cumulative damage model for a step stress test.


Reference Case

The data set is from Table 2.1 on page 496 in the book Accelerated Testing: Statistical Models, Test Plans, and Data Analysis by Dr. Nelson, John Wiley & Sons, 1990.


Data

A step-stress test is conducted for one type of cable insulation to estimate the insulation life at a constant design stress of 400 volts/mil. The test cables are of different thickness in unit of mils (0.001 inch). The stress is the applied step voltage divided by the thickness. A total of 6 step-stress profiles are used. These stress profiles are calculated based the applied voltage (Kilovolts) and the insulation thickness given on page 495 and Table 2.1. For all the profiles, the holding time is 10 mins for the first 4 steps. From step 5, different a holding time is applied at each step for each of the stress profiles. These profiles are given in the following tables.


Profile 1 (named "G1"): Holding time is 15 mins after step 4 and the thickness is 27 mils.
