In today's sophisticated world, reliability stands as the
ultimate arbiter of quality. An understanding of reliability and
the ultimate compromise of failure is essential for determining the
value of most modern products and absolutely critical to others,
large or small. Whether lives are dependent on the performance of a
heat shield or a chip in a lab, random failure is never an
acceptable outcome.
Written for practicing engineers, Practical Reliability Engineering
and Analysis for System Design and Life-Cycle Sustainment departs
from the mainstream approach for time to failure-based reliability
engineering and analysis. The book employs a far more analytical
approach than those textbooks that rely on exponential probability
distribution to characterize failure. Instead, the author, who has
been a reliability engineer since 1970, focuses on those
probability distributions that more accurately describe the true
behavior of failure. He emphasizes failure that results from wear,
while considering systems, the individual components within those
systems, and the environmental forces exerted on them.
Dependable Products Are No Accident: A Clear Path to the
Creation of Consistently Reliable Products
Taking a step-by-step approach that is augmented with current
tables to configure wear, load, distribution, and other essential
factors, this book explores design elements required for
reliability and dependable systems integration and sustainment. It
then discusses failure mechanisms, modes, and effects?as well as
operator awareness and participation?and also delves into
reliability failure modeling based on time-to-failure data
considering a variety of approaches.
From there, the text demonstrates and then considers the advantages
and disadvantages for the stress-strength analysis approach,
including various phases of test simulation. Taking the practical
approach still further, the author covers reliability-centered
failure analysis, as well as condition-based and time-directed
maintenance.
As a science, reliability was once considered the plaything of
statisticians reporting on time-to-failure measurements, but in the
hands of a practicing engineer, reliability is much more than the
measure of an outcome; it is something to be achieved, something to
quite purposely build into a system. Reliability analysis of
mechanical design for structures and dynamic components demands a
thorough field-seasoned approach that first looks to understand why
a part fails, then learns how to fix it, and finally learns how to
prevent its failing. Ultimately, reliability of mechanical design
is based on the relationship between stress and strength over time.
This book blends the common sense of lessons learned with
mechanical engineering design and systems integration, with an eye
toward sustainment. This is the stuff that enables organizations to
achieve products valued for their world-class reliability.
