Development of Test and Analysis Plan for Mechanical Component Reliability.

Abstract

This report describes an engineering project for the preparation of test and analysis plans for selected mechanical components. The test plans are designed to provide data useful for the reliability prediction of mechanical components during the design phase of system life. The technique used enables data acquired from the test of rolling element bearings, spur gears, and helical compression springs to be used to predict failure rates for these specific components. The technique is general enough to be applicable to additional mechanical components within certain constraints which are also discussed. In addition, the test problem relative to another bearing component type is also discussed. The data acquired from the specified tests will be useful as a basis for the future development of a reliability prediction technique for mechanical components. (Author)
