Acceleration Factors with Examples
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
Carefully considering the acceleration factor (AF) is essential when conducting an accelerated life test. Like warp drives shortening the distance, accelerated life tests (ALT) attempt to shorten time. Think of the warp factor and acceleration factor as being similar, well, sort of.
Let’s explore the crucial element of any ALT. What is AF? How is it used? And how do we know we have a ‘good’ one? There are plenty of problems and pitfalls. Let’s avoid those and interpret our ALTs well.
Plus, let’s examine a few examples of AFs in various situations and a brief discussion about how to create a meaningful AF on your own.
