Description
Drawing of real-world issues and with supporting data from industry, this book overviews the technique and equipment available to engineers
and scientists to identify the solutions of the physical essence of engineering problems in simulation, accelerated testing, prediction,
quality improvement, and risk during the design, manufacturing, and maintenance stages. For this goal the book integrates Quality Improvement
and Accelerated Reliability/ Durability/ Maintainability/Test Engineering concepts. The book includes new and unpublished aspects in
quality: - complex analysis of factors that influence product quality, and other quality development and improvement problems during
design and manufacturing ; in simulation: - the strategy for development of accurate physical simulation of field input influences on
the actual product – a system of control for physical simulation of the random input influences – a methodology for selecting a representative
input region for accurate simulation of the field conditions; in testing: - useful accelerated reliability testing (UART) – accelerated
multiple environmental testing technology – trends in development of UART technology; in studying climate and reliability; in prediction:
- accurate prediction (AP) of reliability, durability, and maintainability - criteria of AP - development of techniques, etc.. The book
includes new and effective aspects integration of quality, reliability, and maintainability.
Other key features
1. Includes aspects
of quality integrated with reliability which can help to solve earlier inaccessible problems during design, manufacturing, and usage.
2. Develops a new approach to improving the engineering culture for solving quality and reliability problems.
3. Enables the accurate
prediction of quality, reliability, durability, and maintainability.
4. Proposes strategies for accelerated quality, reliability, durability,
and maintainability improvement and development.
5. Combines new techniques with equipment for accurate physical simulation of field
situation (mechanical, electrical, multi-environmental, and other influences, as well as human and other factors) for development accelerated
testing (including reliability testing) and research.
6. Overviews the latest techniques in physical simulation; accelerated testing;
prediction of reliability, durability, and maintainability; quality development and improvement; safety aspects of risk assessment, especially
for transportation.
7. Supported by real life examples and industry data.
Audience:
Engineers and researchers who already work with simulation, accelerated testing, failure analysis, maintainability, product and technology
management and improvement, quality engineering and management, safety risk assessment, different areas of experimental research, and
who are looking for a work that achieve the results rapidly and with high quality.
