INVESTIGATION OF RELIABILITY OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS.
Abstract
This report encompasses basic investigations pertaining to the reliability of mechanical systems. The investigations deal primarily with development of reliability analysis methodology and data. Analytical predictions and apportionment models are presented which permit estimation and allocation of reliability of complex mechanical systems through the use of relatively simple mathematical formulation. A statistical analysis of aging characteristics of mechanical systems is also provided. A component classification system which categorizes mechanical components by basic type is developed; and standard failure data including basic failure rates, failure modes, and life curves are provided for each category of components. An investigation of the relationships between component failure rates and specific design and application parameters is also presented. (Author)
