Product Description Accelerated Reliability Engineering Halt and Hass Gregg K. Hobbs Hobbs Engineering Corporation, Westminster, Colorado, USA Accelerated reliability engineering is becoming a popular industry alternative to on-going product quality testing. Highly Accelerated Life Tests (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screens (HASS) are intensive methods which use stresses higher than the field environments to expose and then improve design and process weaknesses. HALT and HASS offer faster, cheaper and more accurate results than traditional reliability testing techniques. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the methods and philosophy behind this successful approach. Production managers will appreciate the time-saving and cost-effective testing techniques described. Design engineers involved in quality assurance and students of reliability engineering will benefit from this unique resource detailing the technical aspects of accelerated reliability engineering. Features Include: * Coverage of the physics of failure and useful testing equipment enabling those new to the area to grasp the concepts behind HALT and HASS * Overview of the HALT technique demonstrating how to find design and process defects quickly using accelerated stress methodology during the design phase of the project * Examination of detection screens and modulated excitation used to detect flaws exposed in HALT * Description of how to set up a HASS profile and how to minimize costs whilst retaining efficiency * Applications of HALT and HASS and analysis of common mistakes highlighting the pitfalls to avoid when implementing the methods Wiley Series in Ouality and Reliability Engineering Visit Or Web Page! http://www.wiley.com/ | ||

Its on its own Have not read another like this because Gregg Hobbs is its' inventor. Given its short on the technical reliability aspects , you walk away feeling you have accomplished some serious volume of reading, but still coming out short on reliability justification. A Qualitative Analytical approach, Not a quantitative or theoretical discourse. Having attended this seminar I would recommend a serious read it but follow it up with other books on the introductory concepts of reliability he has mixed throughout his book. Testing it will be a better approach if you can get support from your corporate to go ahead with the proposed principles of testing to failure. Its a hard sell but you have to work it out. | ||
Comments on HALT and HASS book by Hobbs This book is a well written but very basic primer on the subject of HALT and HASS. The title is a little misleading since it has little technical connection to vast subject of Reliability Engineering and does not discuss enough details regarding the technical methodology of HALT and HASS testing (only very generic). The book might be used as a first reader for the busy managers that wants a quick read on what HALT and HASS is basically about but should not expect any advanced technical substance from it. The price of the book is far too high for its technical value. | ||
A long commercial I am new to HALT testing and was given this book as an introduction to the field. Hobbs does a good job of covering the basics in an understandable and easy to follow manner. At times though I felt like I was learning about a new religion instead of a new scientific method. His descriptions and examples are kept non-technical, presumably to appeal to a wider audience, and as a result they border on unsubstantiated propaganda. Still it is a reasonably good introduction, and as it is the only book on the topic I have read so far, I have no alternative to offer. | ||
