Abstract: This paper addresses the optimal design problems for constant-stress accelerated degradation test (CSADT) based on gamma processes with fixed effect and random effect. For three optimization criteria, we prove that optimal CSADT plans with multiple stress levels degenerate to two-stress-level test plans only using the minimum and maximum stress levels under model assumptions. Under each optimization criterion, the optimal sample size allocation proportions for the minimum and maximum stress levels are determined theoretically. The effect of the stress level on the objective functions is also discussed. A numerical example and a simulation study are provided to illustrate the obtained results.
