Accelerating Validation Testing

摘要

Bringing new or improved products to market sooner has long been proven profitable for companies. One way to help shorten the time-to-market is to accelerate validation testing. That is, shorten the test time required to validate a new or improved product. Fatigue testing is a common validation test that often involves long periods of time. However, the time can be shortened by an often forgotten - or unknown - concept of accumulated damage, which works especially well for mechanical components such as gears and shafts.
