Abstract :
This article presents a method of accelerated testing for products under stress in order to estimate their level of reliability under normal conditions. To this end, the authors suggest an accelerated testing law testing based on a mechanical model of damage in order to be close to the failure mechanism. In particular, they propose a method based on a model of crack propagation under stress
