Abstract :
Tests to establish a breakdown strength generally fall into one of three categories: establishment of suitability for an application; performance and quality tests for a given design; and proof tests to verify the quality of an item before it is released to the customer. The probability of failure in constant stress tests using the Weibull distribution is also looked at
