Some Aspects of Reliability Measures of Polymer Composites Stressed by Climatic Environment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper deals with some selected methods for essential reliability measures estimation. Results for polymer composites are presented. The polymer composites were placed in various climatic environments and stressed with thermal and humidity load. These climate simulated accelerated influence of operational environment which the composites percept in service operation. After these stresses mechanical strength tests were performed. Outcomes of these mechanical tests were used for reliability characteristic estimations. For assessment of reliability measures several statistical tests were used. In this paper we present fundamental reliability measures of composites which were obtained during environment accelerated tests as basic research results.
