Virtual Bookstore Citation Title RELIABILITY GROWTH AND ITS APPLICATIONS TO DORMANT RELIABILITY Author(s) VonLoh, John F. Corporate Author(s) AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Report Date 12/1/1981 Page Count 131 Abstract This thesis presents the results of an extensive literature search into reliability growth and the subsequent use of three reliability growth models to predict dormant reliability. A brief review of reliability theory is followed by a survey of reliability growth models, which includes the detailed developments of and specific examples for five popular models. The nature of dormant reliability is then discussed as a prelude to a Monte Carlo analysis using the Duane, Gompertz, and Bonis reliability growth models to predict dormant reliability.
