Abstract:
At a workshop at NIST in 1998 that I attended with Mike Thomas it became clear that there would be value to a vendor-independent service life model that could be used by practicing engineers to help them make service life design decisions and to document their designs. I was tasked with writing the original computer program Life-365 and suggested the name. Now, almost 25 years later, the program continues to be of interest so the profession and has hopefully helped practicing engineers do their jobs. The presentation will present some of the stories from and things learned from this project and where it could go next.
