Posted by: Grib khider (kgrib@zodiac.com ) Organization:Aérazur - Zodiac group Date posted: Mon Nov 8 7:10:55 US/Eastern 2004 Subject: Accelerated testing Message: We have performed an accelerated test using Arrhenius acceleration factor in order to obtain a service life of fuel tank (acceleration factor between life t at temperature T and life t’ at reference temperature T’). For the test we have filled a tank with air instead of fuel. I am looking for a factor between air and fuel to apply in order to be more representative of tank utilization. I will really appreciate if someone have a method to obtain this factor or how we can do to be more realistic?

I need to calculate the number of spare LRUs required for a product to have 95% confidence level (of having a spare available) when the repair time is 10 months. I have failures/million hours figures and thought the RAC Poisson calculator for sparing was the answer! But now I have to consider a mission time of 18 months and calculate spares for this time only. I cannot see what will change. Can anybody give me any clues? Any ideas will be very much appreciated.
