bathtub curve

Common term for the curve (resembling an end-to-end section ofone of those claw-footed antique bathtubs) that describes theexpected failure rate of electronics with time: initiallyhigh, dropping to near 0 for most of the system's lifetime,then rising again as it "tires out". See also burn-in period, infant mortality.
