What is the difference between Reliability testing and testing as per some standard? Can we find out the Warranty period from the Reliability testing data for oil seals?

As i know FR4 is made of Epoxy and woven glass.What factor makes the huge difference in Failure rate of PCB Substrate.What are the factors (like Tg,) that will affect reliability of PCB laminate especially when we use SMT (SMD components)

Exponential Reliability or 2. Weibull reliability or 3. Log Normal Reliability. Is it avl. in PRISM package. If Suppose I am taking the field failure data, than how come I decide it.

Is there any relationship between usefull life and MTBF of a product. ALT is used to determine life of components, Is there any accelerated process or statistical method to determine usefull life of product. Please reply at the earliest.
Posted by: Shanta Date posted: Tue May 20 9:54:10 US/Eastern 2003 Subject: Resistor RACRates Model - PRISM Message: This question is in reference to the Resistor RACRates Model in PRISM software. It requires a combination of thermal stress (in the form of calculated element temperature) and rated power parameters. Depending on the Element Temperature Calculation option chosen, the user is required to enter different pieces of data. If you select Option 5, you need to enter delta-temperature stress, rated power dissipation and actual power dissipation. What is delta temperature stress (Delta-T)? How is it different from the other 4 options which use ambient temperature, temperature rise, ThetaJC (or ThetaJA)*P?
