Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC) The Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC), formerly known as the Reliability Analysis Center (RAC), has served as a Department of Defense (DoD) Information Analysis Center (IAC) for more than 35 years. As an IAC, the RIAC is a Center of Excellence and technical focal point for information, data, analysis, training, and technical assistance in the engineering fields of Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability, and Interoperability (RMQSI). http://theRIAC.org Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC) http://theRIAC.org/rssfeeds/images/RIACLogo.png http://theRIAC.org en-us 60 RIAC Desk Reference

The Handbook illustrates a very straightforward and common sense approach to reliability assessment that includes the well known property of constant rate failures that industry observes in the field with the mostly academic approach of physics-of-failures evaluation. Simply stated, the authors have developed a system by which a reliability engineer can take data from accelerated life testing that tests only a single mechanism, by design, and relate it to the proportion of constant rate failures that are observed in the field. Then, the results of both field data and test data can be used in order to more properly model the expected lifetime behavior of electronics as they operate under specified conditions. The work covers over seven years of research at the University of Maryland, College Park (in collaboration with Tel Aviv University and Bar Ilan University in Israel) that has been funded through the AVSI Aerospace Consortium run out of Texas A and M University, the Office of Naval Research, the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC).
