Reliability Analysis and Test Planning
for Vibration Effects in Mechanical and Electromechanical Components
Reliability engineering employs a
wide variety of reliability tests to achieve continuous reliability
improvement throughout the entire life cycle of the system or device
— from design, to manufacturing, to usage and until after failure. The successful implementation of
accelerated reliability
stress testing requires a thorough understanding of a product's
failure modes as well as the proper selection of the screening test
system and its capabilities. Without prior knowledge of product
responses and the actual dynamic inputs produced by the test system,
effective stress test results may be unachievable or may not be able
to be
replicated. Therefore the product's failure modes and the test
system's operating characteristics must be understood before
selecting the proper stress function, stress magnitude and type of
test equipment. In this session, practical reliability planning and problem
resolution will be covered using the above described concepts.
