wearout

With regards to the wearout, DB decided to replace these locomotives with the new Class 101, which entered service in 1996.

Under its Wearout Warranty, Sears said it would replace free any item of children's clothing that wears out as long as the child still wore the same size.

In advertising, repetition variation is an advertising technique in which repeated ads contain slight variations in order to optimize their effectiveness and prevent advertising "wearout".

The lack of built-in controller also made it impossible for the card to perform automatic wear levelling, a process which prevents premature wearout of a sector by mapping the writes to various other sectors in the card.

I've heard it said that due to write leveling and flash wearout, all SSDs actually contain a lot more flash than their rated space, and as cells wear out they are replaced by the extras.

It is interesting to note that physics of failure is typically designed to predict wearout, or an increasing failure rate, but this initial success by Black focused on predicting behavior during operational life, or a constant failure rate.

One justification for this idea is that components fail by a process of wearout, a predictable decay after manufacture, but that the wearout life of individual components is scattered widely about some very long mean.

Because of this, it is incorrect to extrapolate MTBF to give an estimate of the service life time of a component, which will typically be much less than suggested by the MTBF due to the much higher failure rates in the "end-of-life wearout" part of the "bathtub curve".
