Introduction to Environmental Screening of Complex Systems

This tutorial will cover the basic elements of Environmental Stress Screening (ESS). Some specific topics will be: (1) failure models, (2) mixed distribution models for early life, (3) how to select appropriate screening environments at both the component and system level, (4) the use of cost models to determine where in the production process ESS should be conducted and (5) how to determine when ESS should be stopped with and without detailed failure mode analysis.
