Serving as a foundational guide to the field, this book is an essential resource for professionals involved in the development of mechanical systems and related industries. It provides a comprehensive introduction to mechanical systems design and offers a detailed overview of the current advancements in mechanical systems design, as well as insights into future trends and applications.Designing Faultless Mechanical Products Based on Advanced Reliability Analysis focuses on the mechanical system based on mechanism and parametric accelerated life testing (ALT). It describes basic reliability concepts, parametric ALT plans, failure mechanism and design, and reliability testing with acceleration factor and sample size equation. A generalized life-stress failure model with a new effort concept has been derived and recommended to calculate the acceleration factor of the mechanical system, which is discussed in the book and should help companies to improve product reliability and avoid recalls due to product/structure failures in the field. As the faulty designs of mechanical products are experimentally identified by this new reliability design method—parametric ALT—the mechanical/civil engineering system might improve in reliability by the increase in lifetime and the reduction in failure rate.This book offers a thorough exploration of design concepts for professional engineers, college- and university-level lecturers, researchers, and design managers specializing in reliability. It is also beneficial for senior-level undergraduates and graduates studying mechanical, industrial, and civil engineering. Companies can utilize this resource to enhance product reliability and prevent recalls resulting from product or structural failures.

This book describes how reliability can be embedded into the product development using a design methodology that uses parametric accelerated lifecycle testing (ALT) .The book has these features:•           A new reliability methodology, based on inferential statistics, that can determine whether the reliability of a mechanical/civil system is achieved.•           A unique reliability methodology to prevent reliability disasters in new mechanical products in the field, e.g., automobiles and airplanes.•           Robust design methodology of mechanical/civil product to withstand a variety of loads.•           Explanation of an alternative experimental Taguchi methodology.•           Discussion of how parametric ALT can alsobe used to predict product reliability—lifetime and failure rate.•           Detailed case studies that demonstrate parametric ALT methodology.This book will be useful for senior-level undergraduate and graduate students, professional engineers, college and university-level lecturers, researchers, and design managers in mechanical and civil engineering.

The revised edition of this book offers an expanded overview of the reliability design of mechanical systems and describes the reliability methodology, including a parametric accelerated life test (ALT) plan, a load analysis, a tailored series of parametric ALTs with action plans, and an evaluation of the final designs to ensure the design requirements are satisfied.It covers both the quantitative and qualitative approaches of the reliability design forming in the development process of mechanical products, with a focus on parametric ALT and illustrated via case studies. This new reliability methodology – parametric ALT should help mechanical and civil engineers to uncover design parameters improving product design and avoiding recalls. Updated chapters cover product recalls and assessment of their significance, modern definitions in reliability engineering, parametric accelerated life testing in mechanical systems, and extended case studies.For this revised edition, one new chapter has been introduced to reflect recent developments in analysis of fluid motion and mechanical vibration. Other chapters are expanded and updated to improve the explanation of topics including structures and load analysis, failure mechanics, design and reliability testing, and mechanical system failure.The broad scope gives the reader an overview of the state-of-the-art in the reliability design of mechanical systems and an indication of future directions and applications.  It will serve as a solid introduction to the field for advanced students, and a valuable reference for those working in the development of mechanical systems and related areas.
