During the second half of 2018, AWE investigated using Bayesian Mathematics for forecasting reliability for the life of a product. This work has enabled the further development in AWE’s capability for managing uncertainty and quantifying potential risks in engineered components.
A repeatable and robust model has been applied to enable forecasts of reliability through life. The Forecasting Reliability Through Life (FRTL) study comprised of a Component Sensitivity Study (CSS) and the Random Onset Model (ROM). The ROM is a Los Alamos National Laboratories Bayesian mathematical model for forecasting a distribution of probabilities for the onset of degradation. The ROM suggested that the forecasted degradations for the components under scrutiny were beyond 2050. Furthermore, the ROM provided a formal method for exploring the premise that the onset of degradation of electronic components in a single shot system is less detectable than the onset of degradation for mechanical components.
The webinar will provide an overview of the study; it’s purpose, the methodology used, a description of the findings and the steps that have been taken.
