Degradation Analysis

[Fudjie]

I am interested in using the Degradation Analysis (DA) tool in Weibull++. Unlike the turbine blade crack case study in the website, my test is a destructive test. I don't have the same units over the test periods that I can test. Is there a way to handle this case in the DA?
Thanks very much.

In this case you will need to use a different modeling approach (i.e. the DA utility would be inappropriate). The ALTA case study at http://www.reliasoft.com/alta6/a6ex6/index.htm presents such an example using a destructive test (and using the ALTA software, which is better suited for such types of degradation analysis).

Excuse my ignorance, but what makes "pharma" equipment any different?
