Colony-forming ability was assayed in medium after treatment in vitro. Time-response curves were established and subjected to Arrhenius analysis. The Arrhenius curves showed inflection points at 43℃ for V79 cells and at 42℃ for L cells. The activation energies were 145 kcal/mole and 400 kcal/mole above and below 43℃ (P<0.05), respectively, for V79 cells, while 160 kcal/mole and 300 kcal/mole above and below 42℃ (P<0.05), respectively, for L cells. Thermosensitivity of L cells are markedly higher than V79 cells. Both V79 and L cells were sensitized by SDH. The SDH effect was characterized by a reduction in shoulder (an addition effect to sublethal damage), an increase in slope (thermosensitization), and the delay and disappearance of thermotolerant 'tail' for V79 and L cells at 45℃ to 40℃ and 44℃ to 42℃ SDH treatment respectively. Particularly, 42℃ to 39℃ or 42℃ to 40℃ SDH for L cells resulted in thermosensitization effect up to a factor of 7.1 or 2.7, respectively. The effect was quantified by thermorsensitization ratio (TSR), defined as T0 single heated/T0SDH-heated. The relative ratio was much higher for V79 than for L cells. Heat killing with SDH characterized by Arrhenius analysis showed that Step-down heating reduced the activation energy for heat killing more than single heating. The decrease of activation energy for L cells was markedly greater than for V79. These data suggest that greater cellular sensitivity under step-down heating conditions may reflect a different mechanism for cell killing.展开更多

This paper develops a segmented nonlinear accelerated degradation model (SNADM) based on the equivalent method of accumulative damage theory, which tackles the problem that product life is difficult to be determined with degradation rate being a function of the variable of time. A segmented expression of the function of population accumulative degradation is derived. And combined with nonlinear function, an accelerated degradation function, i.e., SNADM is obtained. The parameters of the SNADM are identified by numerical iteration, and the statistical function of degradation track is extrapolated. The reliability function is determined through the type of random process of the degradation distribution. Then an evaluation of product storage life is undertaken by combining the statistical function of degradation track, reliability function and threshold. An example of a missile tank undergoes a step-down stress accelerated degradation test (SDSADT), in which the results with the SNADM and the classical method are evaluated and compared. The technology introduced is validated with the resultant coincidence of both evaluated and field storage lives.展开更多

In order to further reduce the test time and test cost, a double-synchronous-step-stress(DSSS) ALT method which combines a double-synchronous-step-downstress(DSSDS) ALT method and a double-synchronous-step-up-stress(DSSUS) ALT method is proposed. The accelerated stresses decrease and increase in a synchronous way with one step in the DSSDS-ALT and DSSUSALT methods, respectively. Monte Carlo method is adopted to simulate the two methods, and the validity and efficiency of them are demonstrated by the simulation results. In addition, a comparison analysis of efficiency between DSSDS-ALT method and DSSUS-ALT method is carried out. The result shows that the DSSDS-ALT method compared with the DSSUS-ALT method can significantly improve the test efficiency under the same test condition.展开更多
