Abstract :
An analytical technique, called durability analysis, which should enhance the avionic hardware reliability and durability is presented. This enhancement in reliability/durability occurs early in the development phase by way of design changes on paper and by consideration of various design tradeoffs based on criticality of the hardware and on economics of maintenance support. Also discussed are various types of durability analysis with some examples. Guidance on which areas or parts of the hardware should be selected for analysis is included
