Reliability Toolkit

Arrhenius Acceleration Factor Calculator

Estimate thermal acceleration for a temperature-activated degradation mechanism using an activation energy expressed in electron-volts.

Engineering inputs

Supported range: 0 to 5.

Specified in-service or mission temperature. Supported range: -100 to 500.

Supported range: -100 to 500.

Supported range: 0 to 1e+09.

Results

Your calculation

Enter the inputs and select Calculate.

Model notes

One thermally activated failure mechanism across Field and Test conditions. Acceleration factor is field life divided by test life for the supplied activation energy.
