- Title
RECOGNIZING THE OPTIMUM BURN-TN PERIOD.
- Authors

- Abstract
It is generally accepted within the reliability discipline that component failures occur when the strength of the component is less than the stresses imposed. Due to the unavoidable variations in processing and materials, it will not he unusual to find component or product strength distributions that are bimodal in nature, consisting of a mixture of two Weibull distributions (i.e. weak anti strong component distributions). This paper presents an analysis of both field performance and burn-in data collated over a period of time on one particular type of display unit which clearly exhibits some form of bimodality, The text also explains in detail the manner in which optimum burn-in duration can he computed via a Weibull plotting technique or by applying the sequential burn-in procedure.
