Abstract
An apparatus for optimizing the design of a product or component by subjecting the product or component to multiple stimuli, such as temperature, vibration, pressure, ultraviolet radiation, chemical exposure, humidity, mechanical cycling, and mechanical loading, is described. Also described is a method for determining design maturity, technological limits, technological design maturity, predicted technological design maturity, and system target limits of products, components, and systems, respectively.
