ABSTRACT
In this study, we focus on the optimization of step-stress accelerated degradation test (SSADT) plan when the degradation process can be modelled by a stochastic Tweedie exponential dispersion (TED) process. In the context of an optimization based on the D-optimality and V-optimality criteria, with a prior transformation of stress, the equivalence between a multilevel SSADT plan and a simple SSADT plan using only the minimum and maximum stress levels can be shown. Thus optimal SSADT plans can be simply derived. An application example will be presented to assess the effectiveness of the proposed simple optimal SSADT plans.
Keywords: Accelerated degradation test, Optimization, Tweedie exponential dispersion process.
