Reliability Stress

Connect infant mortality, useful life, wearout, and accelerated stress vocabulary without claiming qualification.

EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Read the bathtub curve as three regions before citing a reliability number.
  • Compare stress-mode vocabulary for thermal, humidity, mechanical, and biased operation screens.
  • Use the card to list which sample size, failure definition, and confidence data are missing.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

The page replays saved reliability teaching data. It does not qualify devices, predict field FIT, or release product reliability claims.

precomputed replay

Primary knobs

  • Teaching time points: 1 to 50000 hours
  • Outputs: failure-rate proxy, bathtub-region interpretation, stress-mode vocabulary
  • Review focus: reliability language and missing evidence
  • Boundary: no JEDEC qualification plan, FIT prediction, product release, or customer quality claim
outputs

Saved outputs

  • bathtub trend table
  • infant mortality check
  • useful-life flat check
  • wearout increase check

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Represent reliability trend with six teaching time points and a failure-rate proxy.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Check that early failure rate decreases, useful life is flat, and wearout increases.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

List stress modes as vocabulary prompts rather than a qualification plan.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Keep sample size, censoring, failure definition, and confidence needs visible as missing data.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

No JEDEC qualification, accelerated-life model, activation energy, confidence bound, FIT prediction, product release, or warranty claim is included.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No real stress condition, sample size, failure-analysis result, field-return data, or customer quality evidence is represented.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

The bathtub curve is a teaching shape and cannot prove reliability.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Real reuse requires qualified test plans, measured failures, censoring rules, statistics, failure analysis, and owner signoff.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

The dataset preserves six bathtub time points and four stress-mode vocabulary cases.

SA-PTR-REL-STRESS-BATHTUB-001

evidence note

Verification checks infant mortality decrease, useful-life flatness, wearout increase, and stress-mode count.

SA-PTR-REL-STRESS-BATHTUB-001

evidence note

The model card keeps qualification, FIT prediction, and release boundaries explicit.
