Component and System Life Distribution Prediction with Reliability Demonstration Implications for a Diesel Fuel Injector

摘要

A methodology illustrated by a case study of analysis and testing to predict component and systemrnreliability and durability integrating: Customer Usage Data, Component Failure Distribution, SystemrnFailure Criteria, Manufacturing Variation, and Customer Severity Variation. The extension to the vehiclernsystem level enables correlation between component and system requirements. Further, this analysisrnprovides the basis to establish a knowledge-based test option for a success test validation program torndemonstrate reliability.
