How many kinds are components of FMD-97 ? And I want to know other failmode databases and where I get it. Thank you!

All available software packages that I know of does make provision for selection of the global environment, while in some cases you can select different environments for different products within a system. How would one distingiush between a product mounted directly into the cocpit of a chopper and one that is mounted onto a well designed shock obsorber that dimenishes the effect of vibrations and bumbs? Obviously, the product on the shock mount lives in a more friendly environment, but which of the available environments do you choose? Best Regards Peet

Why? I think there are still some power and voltage effects on the failure rate of FET. Could I use the tables in Biploar to modify the equation of FET? Thanks in advance! James

Date posted: Fri Jun 23 4:38:11 US/Eastern 2000 Subject: Derating Message: Derating rules for MIL-SPEC components are given in MIL-STD-975, the GSFC PPL-21, JPL-D-8545, NAVSEA TE000-AB-GTP-010, ESA PSS-01-301, MIL-HDBK-1547, and in the RAC Reliability Toolkit. However I want derating rules for commercial components in the commercial environment, but so far I can find nothing. Are there any rules or guidelines out there? (Look forward to the new RAC publication on this subject - next month?). Bill Crabb, Componbent Engineer/Parts Specialist.

We are also interested in constructing uncertainty distributions on these failure rates. Is the value of failure rate from Mil-217 to be considered the mean failure rate of the component ? Is the value from Bellcore the mean failure rate or the 90% upper bound on the failure rate ?
