HALT to Find Operating and Destruct Limits
Highly Accelerated Life Testing steps thermal and vibration stress past specification until the product fails, to discover where its limits actually are rather than to demonstrate that it met a number. The gap between the destruct limit and the mission profile is the measured design margin, which is what makes HALT a design tool rather than a pass or fail test.
This Concept is waiting for its first lesson!
