Abstract This paper targets a common challenge in mechanical vibration test design for a structural assembly with components of nonhomogeneous materials. It derives a system global equivalent S-N curve exponent for a product under both uniform and non-uniform stressing across components. An numerical example is given to illustrate the advantage of the method for reliability life test design over the traditional practice, especially for high reliability product.
