Abstract :
Accelerated tests are becoming more and more popular in industry due to the need for obtaining life-data and to get more failures quickly. The article presents a comparative and critical analysis of some methods of accelerated testing (parametric, semi-parametric) in the case of mechanics. A simulation of a mechanical-damage model (fatigue) illustrates our analysis. The results obtained reveal the limitations and possible applications of these methods in mechanics
