Design of Mechanical Systems - Seongwoo Woo - Bog

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.
