bathtub curve

A graph of the number of failures in a system or component as a function of time. The name is derived from the usual shape of the graph: a period of decreasing failures (the early-failure period), followed by a relatively steady period (the constantfailure period), followed by a period of increasing failures (the wearout-failure period).
