ABSTRACT
Reliability of electronic equipment is critical for lifting machinery safety. Studies have primarily concentrated on electronic components with limited attention to holistic frameworks. This paper proposes a reliability evaluation methodology for electronic equipment, addressing key limitations in systematic frameworks and practical utility. First, accelerated life test (ALT) is designed according to Coffin-Manson model, amplifying environmental stress to degradation. Second, wavelet packet (WP) is employed to extract performance degradation trends, enhancing data quality for subsequent analysis. Third, a pseudo-lifetime estimation approach is developed based on autoregressive moving average (ARMA) and performance degradation trajectory. Weibull distribution model is then used for quantitative reliability analysis. Finally, reliability test and analysis of load moment limiter (LML) demonstrate that the methodology is efficient, precise, and practically implementable, thereby bridging the gap between academic research and field applications.
