How to account for failure modes with this data bank. Can anybody please kindly clarify.

Does anyone know of a reliability model for drive belts? I realize they are listed in NPRD-95 but am hoping for a model that can predict life with stress parameters. Thanks!

Date posted: Tue Nov 23 13:18:43 US/Eastern 2004 Subject: Naval Unsheltered Environment Message: In performing the reliability prediction for a Navy SATCOM program the question of what opeating enviornment should be used for an antenna that is housed inside a radome is in question. The radome does not provide any protection for temperature, but does appear to provide some protection from solar radiation (less heat), rain, salt spray, etc. In the Reliability Toolkit, Table A11-2 GF can be converted to NU by multiplying the value by 0.3. Is there another factor that can be used for partial protection from the environment to cover this design application?

Is there any change in the failure rate as a consequense of these tests?
