Abstract:

The reliability of mechanical and electromechanical components is investigated fnom physical and mechanisms-of-failure points of view, with the goal of improved design practice and specification requirements. Observed failure data on the 413L system are used as the empirical base for phenomenological and physical analysis. Sixteen components applicable to ground electronic systems are studied in detail Actuators, Bearings, Cables, Clutches, Counters, Couplings, Elec. connectors, Fasteners, Gears, Motors, Potentiometers, Relays, Rheostats, Solenoids, Switches, Synchros. For these, a guide is given to pertinent failure mechanisms, critical causes of failure and correlation with experience data, indicating the relative importance of each cause. Materials, manufacturing variability and the influence of fabrication are covered from both materials and component viewpoints. Current reliability proof requirements and criteria for the preparation of a reliability specification are discussed. Author
