Mechanical Applications in Reliability Engineering

摘要

Reliability engineering practices are presented from two primary perspectives: part reliability engineering and system reliability engineering. Unlike many reliability documents, this document establishes a clear distinction between the tools and terminology which are associated with each perspective. The context is oriented toward mechanical reliability applications within reliability engineering. Such topics as: (1) the mechanisms of mechanical failure, (2) mechanical failure theories, (3) part failure data evaluation, (4) system failure data evaluation and (5) failure mode evaluation tools for systems are discussed.
