Abstract

In this paper, the authors present selected information on accelerated reliability tests of special off-road vehicles and their parts. The vehicles were tested in standard operation and on a polygon using accelerated durability tests of the bearings of the vehicles. The paper presents the theoretical basis of accelerated testing of the reliability properties of the parts and the possibilities of calculating the acceleration coefficient. The authors assumed the linearity of the acceleration function, which is proved in practice in most cases. The authors also present the possibility of using a special polygon for accelerated tests.
