Reliability in automotive and mechanical engineering: determination of component and system reliability

Defects generate a great economic problem for suppliers who are faced with increased duties. Customers expect increased efficiency and dependability of technical product of - also growing - complexity. The authors give an introduction to a theory of dependability for engineers. The book may serve as a reference book as well, enhancing the knowledge of the specialists and giving a lot oftheoretical background and practical information, especially on the dependability analysis of whole systems. The theory, concepts and approaches are well explained by examples and solutions. The topics include: Mathematical basis, Life span distributions, System dependability theory, Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), Fault tree analysis, Dependability test planning, Test evaluation, Calculation of repairable systems, Dependability protection programs. Reliability analysis of components and of complete systems is presented Applicable in practical enigineering, use of examples with solutions Serves as a reference book Enhancing the knowledge of the specialists INDICE: Introduction.- Fundamentals of Statistics and Probability Theory.-Reliability Analysis of Transmission.- FMEA - Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.- Fault Tree Analysis, FTA.- Assessment of Lifetime Tests and Failure Statistics.- Weibull Parameters for Selected Machine Components.- Methods for Reliability Test Planning.- Lifetime Calculation for Machine Components.- Maintenance and Reliability.- Reliability Assurance Program.- Solutions.- Appendix.- Index.
