Accelerated Life Testing

Using a test-oriented failure mechanism methodology, we help determine how your products will perform over time by defining life cycle requirements that meet targeted reliability goals. ReliaRisk improves and hones the reliability of your system early in the development process by identifying high risk areas and implementing actions to mitigate those risks.

ReliaRisk offers world-class expertise in developing, implementing, supporting and analyzing reliability tests. We work with commercial and government customers to design reliability tests for electrical, mechanical and electromechanical systems and components. Our accelerated 
methodologies shorten reliability tests, and our expertise in developing stress models tailored to Accelerated Life Testing of systems and components ensures accurate performance calculations. We work one-on-one with customers to develop test strategies that match overall objectives and requirements of their reliability programs, while working within resource constraints.

ReliaRisk engineers analyze Accelerated Life Testing results to provide definitive answers about the long-term reliability of systems andcomponents. Through our consulting services, you can rely on us to create solid test strategies for your products, freeing up your engineering staff to focus on core competencies and new product development rather than being bogged down with reliability planning. 
 

Reliability is our business – we understand test planning and procedure development, and we know what data needs to be gathered and how to document it. We offer the tools and expertise to transform data into relevant and accurate reliability predictions and analysis.

Our effective and efficient testing results from utilizing analytical techniques such as Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics and fracture mechanics integrated with reliability testing techniques.
