This section reviews environmental stress testing procedures used to identify unacceptable parts or to estimate part life.These tests can be categorized by their intended goals 100 percent screening to eliminate early failures (burn-in), acceptance testing on a sampling basis, and life... 

The ABC/XYZ-method has been suggested by Fleischer and Schmidt in order to include environmental aspects into a screening and simplified LCA method already at the stage of product and process research and development (R D). They proposed an interactive, iterative and integrative top-down approach to identify advanced materials. This approach named euro Mat has been detailed by Fleischer et The authors stress that the simplific-... 

A simple method for evaluating the stress cracking tendency of materials by environmental agents can be used as a screening test. 

In such subjective statements, detailed information was obtained about the nature of the design problems, the handling of tools (CAD, AI systems, conventional aids, etc.), and the environmental conditions (time pressure, disturbances, etc.). Beeause the design task was already finished, no time pressure exists to investigate all aspects of the stress situation. Because the situation was documented on video in different views (overall situation, CAD screen, desk views), the memory of the subject is maximally aided.
