This book covers both a descriptive and inferential approach of reliability design in the development process of mechanical products, along with a focus on parametric accelerated life testing and case studies. This new reliability methodology enables the engineer to uncover the faulty design of the product and avoid recalls in the marketplace.
List of contents
1. Introduction to Reliability Design of Mechanical/Civil System. 2. Data and Statistics in Mechanical System. 3. Probability and its Distribution. 4. Descriptive Statistics: Lifetime Analysis of Product. 5. Load Analysis. 6. Failure, Design, and Reliability Testing. 7. Statistical Inference: Parametric Accelerated Life Testing. 8. Case Studies of Parametric ALT. 9. Parametric ALT: A Powerful Tool for Future Engineering Development
About the author
Seong-woo Woo has a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering, and he has obtained PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M. He major in energy system such as HVAC and its heat transfer, optimal design and control of refrigerator, reliability design of mechanical components, and failure Analysis of thermal components in marketplace using the Non-destructive such as SEM & XRAY. Especially, he developed parametric accelerated life testing (ALT) as new reliability methodology. If there is design fault in the mechanical system that is subjected to repetitive stress, it will fail in its lifetime. Engineer should find the design faults by parametric ALT before product launches.
In 1992-1997 he worked in Agency for Defense Development, Chinhae, South Korea, where he has researcher in charge of Development of Naval weapon System. In 2000-2010 he had been working as a Senior Reliability Engineer in Side-by-Side Refrigerator Division, Digital Appliance, SAMSUNG Electronics, where he focused on enhancing the life of refrigerator as using parametric the accelerating life testing. Now he is working as associate professor in mechanical department, Addis Ababa Science & Technology University.
