General Publications by DfRSoft Assurance
Reliability Predictive Modeling - This is a Chapter from our book on understanding System Reliability and predictive modeling such as Mil Std. 217 and Telcordia.
Accelerated Testing - This is a Chapter from our book on accelerated testing. Here you will find an overview of all the main equations used in accelerated testing.
Electromigration - Insight into Using The Electromigration Black Equation for MTTF Estimates
Silver Migration - Electrolytic Electromigration of Metallic Material and Silver Filled Epoxy
Miner's Rule - Derivation for Miner’s Rule – Its uses, Its Assumptions, and A few examples
Miners Rule for Batteries - Miner’s rule of cumulative damage in chemical cells (undergoing voltage-charge and voltage-discharge cycles) allows for the prediction of the number of cycles of different strengths required before a battery fails.

How Aging Laws Influence Parametric and Catastrophic Reliability
Distributions,
Reliability and Maintainability Symposium,
January
2017. In
this paper we describe how these physics of failure aging laws influence
reliability distributions, not only the type of distribution, but the rate
of failure as it relates to the aging rate. We illustrate how one can
predict parametric failure rates based on the physics of failure aging laws
when known.

Accelerated Reliability Growth - Stage Gate Method - In this paper, an Accelerated Reliability Growth (ARG) Stage-Gate (SG) process is described that is used for product development of assemblies, hybrids, and discrete components. Note, traditionally, reliability growth science is applied at the assembly level. Here we see how it makes sense for this commercial sector.
