Probabilistic modelling for timing belt fatigue life predictions using accelerated testing

摘要

To design low-cost and more robust products, the application of probabilistic methods should be employed. This has been successfully carried out on a timing belt, a key component of the synchronous belt system for driving camshafts, water pumps, fuel injection pumps and balance shafts. The model development process for determining the durability and reliability Of a timing belt will be discussed.
