Factorial experimental design for the lifetime of structural components

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce the application of factorial experimental design for the lifetime of the structural components tested. The application of the experimental design method into the lifetime of the micro switch’s tests is shown. This method allows multiple factors to be examined simultaneously. Following the rules of the full factorial design, we determine all possible level combinations of factors, we investigate what extent the value of the optimization parameter has been modified by these factors and design the experiment tests accordingly.
