General Model for Reliability-Based Engineering Design

Abstract: This article applies general engineering rules for describing the reliability of devices working under variable stresses. The approach is based on imposing completeness and physicality. Completeness refers to the model's capability for studying as many stated conditions as possible, and physicality refers to the model's capability for incorporating explanatory variables specified and related each other by the physical laws. The proposed reliability model has as many explanatory variables as necessary but only three unknown parameters, and hence, it allows the engineer to collect reliability data from different tests campaigns, and to extrapolate reliability results towards other operational and design points.
