Abstract: Accelerated degradation test (ADT) has been developed into a main test method, which can be used to estimate the reliability and remaining useful life (RUL) of products with high reliability and long life. In order to study the effect of measurement error on the estimation of RUL in the step stress accelerated degradation test, a degradation process modeling based on Wiener process model considering the measurement error and the individual variation is proposed. The drift coefficient of Wiener process is randomized to describe the individual variation in different equipment, and the probability density function of life distribution is obtained at first hitting time. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used to estimate the unknown parameters introduced in the model. Monte Carlo method is used to simulate the performance degradation of laser. The results show that the fitting of model and the accuracy of RUL estimation in the degradation model considering the measurement error are better than those in the model without considering the measurement error, which can enhance the estimation accuracy of reliability and the prediction accuracy of RUL.Key
