By Starr, Tustin COTS Journal, April 2002 It's the Analysis That Counts By Starr, Tustin Evaluation Engineering, Oct 2002 Vibration Screening Custom Tailored for Electronics By Starr, Tustin COTS Journal, April 2003 Vibration Test Techniques Shake the Status Quo By Jeff Child, Senior Editor COTS Journal, April 2004 Vibration Test Goals : Efficient, Effective and Valid By Starr COTS Journal, April 2005 Reliability Issues Stir Up the ESS Waters By Starr COTS Journal, June 2006 Despite RoHS, Products Must be Rugged and Reliable By Starr PKG Magazine - Electronic Enclosures & Components, Volume 2, 2006 Special Feature, Advances in Reliability Testing (HALT/HASS Test Tactics - FLY AHEAD of the CURVE) COTS Journal, January 2008 Success in Reliability Test: Proper Use, Proper Gear (HALT and HASS provide a speedy path to improved product reliability testing. But the success of such methods depends on how they’re used and the equipment available to perform sophisticated testing.) By Jeff Child, Editor-in-Chief COTS Journal, January 2008 A Look Under the Hood of HALT and HASS (Although HALT and HASS methodologies have become widely accepted in military programs, not enough attention is paid to what is actually happening to hardware in those test environments) By Starr, Walker COTS Journal, January 2008 Enhanced HALT Techniques Boost MTBF Prediction (By improving HALT processes it’s possible to provide accurate product life values. The gathered knowledge helps military system designers build rugged, reliable electronics for harsh environments.)
