Accelerated life testing (ALT) is widely used to expedite failures of a product in a short time period for predicting the product’s reliability under normal operating conditions. The resulting ALT data are often characterized by a probability distribution, such as Weibull, Lognormal, Gamma distribution, along with a life-stress relationship. However, if the selected failure time distribution is not adequate in describing the ALT data, the resulting reliability prediction would be misleading. In this talk, we provide a generic method for modeling ALT data which will assist engineers in dealing with a variety of failure time distributions. The method uses Erlang-Coxian (EC) distributions, which belong to a particular subset of phase-type (PH) distributions, to approximate the underlying failure time distributions arbitrarily closely. To estimate the parameters of such an EC-based ALT model, two statistical inference approaches are proposed. First, a mathematical programming approach is formulated to simultaneously match the moments of the EC-based ALT model to the ALT data collected at all test stress levels. This approach resolves the feasibility issue of the method of moments. In addition, the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) approach is proposed to handle ALT data with type-I censoring. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the capability of the generic method in modeling ALT data.
22 years ago, TAI developed its reputation for high quality engineering in the Chemical Processing Industry. Still today, we remain dedicated to quality, integrity and committed relationships in the industrial sector.

Globalization is the system of international integration that often arises from the interchange of world products, views, ideas, and some aspects of culture
On March 2015, the City of Summit initiated a Feasibility Study on the vision of converting the abandoned Rahway Valley Railroad into a rail trail more commonly referred to as the Summit Parkline. The Study develops feasible and economical concepts for a 1.2-mile trail and linear park on the existing railroad right-of-way. The Summit Parkline is a unique opportunity for the City to create a recreational amenity that has potential to be a major local and regional attraction and character-giving symbol for the community.
La mia collaborazione apportata durante lo svolgimento della mia tesi di laurea magistrale, realizzata in stretta collaborazione con Unindustria Rimini (ex. Confindustria).
Il tema trattato è quello della identificazione della situazione innovativa e dell'internazionalizzazione delle imprese nella provincia di Rimini.
L'obbiettivo è stato raggiunto tramite la somministrazione di un questionario ad un campione di 500 aziende, redatto in collaborazione tra l'università di Bologna ed Unindustria.
