1.1 What is Reliability Engineering?
This is a preview. There are 12 more flashcards available for chapter 1.1
Show more cards here -
How is customer acceptance that a product might fail regulated?
- Warranty
- Protection in law
Both come down to claim rectify for failures within given time -
What is the downside of warranty etc for customers?
It does not provide a measure of quality. Limitation of action when it fails multiple times or outside warranty period. -
What are the consequences to the limitation of action when it comes to warranty?
Manufacturer will suffer
- loss of reputation, affecting future business. -
Why do we use a time-based concept of quality when it comes to reliability engineering?
Reliability is concerned with failures in the time domain. -> this is the distinguishing mark between reliable engineering and traditional quality control. -
What aspect does reliability give us?
Aspect of engineering uncertainty. -
How can reliability be expressed?
Number of failures over a period -
What is Durability's connection to Reliability?
Aspect of reliability related to ability of an item to withstand effects of time dependent mechanisms such as:
- fatigue
- wear
- corrosion
- electrical parameter charger -
How can durability be expressed?
Minimum time before the occurrence of wearout failures. -
How is durability characterized in repairable systems?
The ability of the product to function after repairs -
What are the objectives of reliability engineering?
In order of priority:- Prevent or reduce likelihood or frequency of failures
- by applying engineering knowledge and specialist techniques
- Identify and correct causes of failures that do occur
- Determine ways of coping with failures that do occur
- Analyzing reliability data
- Apply methods for estimating the likely reliability of new designs
- Prevent or reduce likelihood or frequency of failures
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
