Summary:

Automobile manufacturers perform predictive studies and tests to ensure - right from the design stage - that new products will meet the necessary reliability requirements when they are commercialized. The following paper deals with the definition of the corresponding test requirements.We aim at:To attain these objectives, it is necessary to first define a method for measuring the relationship between testing conditions and actual service conditions. We can establish such a relationship either by comparing failures or by measuring stresses.The results obtained by Renault reveal the existence of a relationship that varies with the vehicle part (the engine, gear-box or car frame) and the type of vehicle; a study of each case is warranted.Our comments follow, along with comparisons between the resulting testing techniques and the consequences quick and representative tests have on research
