Nomograms for the Design of Single Sample Reliability Acceptance Plans for Exponential Distribution.

摘要

This report presents nomograms for the design and evaluation of single sample reliability acceptance tests for exponential distribution. The nomograms permit an exploration of the design region and facilitate the examination of alternative solutions and their implications. The nomograms constitute a useful tool for the practicing engineer to weigh the trade-offs between design and test criteria. Several examples are presented to illustrate the use of the nomograms toward plan design, exploration of the design region, examination of the effects of changes in design criteria on the designed plans, design with engineering constraints and design with partial information.
