مدل سازی پایایی تخریب بر اساس یک فرایند افزایش مستقل با واریانس درجه دوم

Degradation testing is an important technique for assessing life time information of complex systems and highly reliable products. Motivated by fatigue crack growth (FCG) data and our previous study, this paper develops a novel degradation modeling approach, in which degradation is represented by an independent increment process with linear mean and general quadratic variance functions of test time or transformed test time if necessary. Based on the constructed degradation model, closed-form expressions of failure time distribution (FTD) and its percentiles can be straightforwardly derived and calculated. A one-stage method is developed to estimate model parameters and FTD. Simulation studies are conducted to validate the proposed approach, and the results illustrate that the approach can provide reasonable estimates even for small sample size situations. Finally, the method is verified by the FCG data set given as the motivating example, and the results show that it can be considered as an effective degradation modeling approach compared with the multivariate normal model and graphic approach.
