Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) is used for finding weak links in
designs and processes that cause field failures in products. Emphasis is placed
on environmental and electrical stimulation applied in the design phase in order
to force accelerated design and process maturity. HALT allows earlier (mature)
product introduction and obtains robust design margins.
Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) is used during the production
phase to assure process and design control.
HALT and HASS result in cost savings and reliability improvements that are
orders of magnitude better than those attained using traditional approaches.
Gregg K. Hobbs, Ph.D., P.E., is the originator of and world leader in the
principles of HALT and HASS. He has been a consulting engineer since 1978,
specializing in the fields of stress screening, robust and flaw tolerant design,
dynamic analysis and testing. He has been employed as a consultant by many
leading companies in the aerospace, commercial, military, and industrial fields
and has taught at two major universities as Adjunct Professor (Visiting Full
Professor). He has taught courses on these subjects in the USA, Asia, Canada,
Europe, UK, Africa, South Pacific, Middle East and Mexico.
He has introduced, and continues to introduce, many new concepts, techniques,
and equipment that have been proven by 34 years extensive use on many products.
The methods have resulted in savings of several billions of dollars for his
clients. New techniques introduced in early 1996 have resulted in at least a
ten-fold improvement to these highly effective methods. Rapid HALT, introduced
in 2003, has reduced the time in HALT substantially.
Currently the inventor of 14 patents on accelerated testing equipment (with
several more pending), Dr Hobbs has written many important papers on accelerated
techniques and has introduced a number of new concepts in various technical
fields other than HALT and HASS. His book, Accelerated Reliability Engineering,
HALT & HASS, was published in February 2000.
Dr Hobbs recently established HALT & HASS Systems Corporation, a company
providing state-of-the-art HALT & HASS test equipment.
