Virtual Bookstore Citation Title RELIABILITY, LIFE PREDICTION, AND PROOF TESTING OF CERAMICS Author(s) wiederhorn,s. m. ; Corporate Author(s) Report Date 3/13/1900 Page Count 31 Abstract a critical review of the use of proof testing as a design method forassuring the reliability of structural components is presented. the advantage ofproof testing over the statistical approach used for design lies in theinsensitivity of the proof testing method to the detailed history of handling orprocessing of structural components. methods are presented for developing andusing proof test diagrams to assure component lifetime after proof testing.procedures of proof testing and precaustions that must be followed during prooftesting are discussed . provided these precautions are followed, proof testingoffers a general method for assuring the reliability of structural componentsunder stress.
