Abstract :
A formula for the expected number of corrective actions during reliability demonstration testing is derived. It is assumed that modes fail independently, each mode fails as a homogeneous Poisson process, and the distribution of modes is Pareto. Given these assumptions, the distribution of the time to corrective action is derived for a single mode. These mode results are then combined to obtain system results. An approximation is made at the system level to obtain useful results
