Abstract :
Reliability assessment for innovative products is of great interest in manufacturing enterprises. Traditionally, reliability is estimated once products or prototypes are built to go through physical tests. The latter are often time-consuming and very costly to perform. This paper suggests an alternative way to perform reliability tests based on virtual samples. It aims to reduce the number of physical tests.
