Abstract :
This paper briefly describes the Bias program1 and its application in reliability analysis. Except in the simplest of networks, the calculation of parameters for reliability analyses is not easily achieved. Because of the easy temperature variation and other features of the network analysis program Bias, it is extremely well suited to at least three commonly used reliability analysis procedures: failure mode and criticality, drift failure, reliability prediction (catastrophic failures).
