A method and apparatus is provided for stress testing integrated circuits to determine their susceptibility to hot carrier charge injection damage. The initiator compositions comprise a metal containing oxidizing agent, at least one metal reducing agent, and a non-explosive binder. The computer then uses the data sets to generate treatment paths along which the teeth will move from the initial positions to the final positions. The dynamic transmission load profile includes transmission loads as a function of engine speed during an auto-start of an engine.
