Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a simple approach for reliability analysis based on fatigue or overstress failure modes of mechanical components, and explain how this integrated method carries out spectral fatigue damage and failure reliability analysis. In exploring the ability to predict spectral fatigue life and assess the reliability under a specified dynamics environment, a methodology for reliability assessment and its corresponding fatigue life prediction of mechanical components using a supply-demand interference approach is developed in this paper. Since the methodology couples dynamics analysis and stochastic analysis for fatigue damage and reliability prediction, the conversion of the duty cycle history for the reliability study of an individual component is also presented. Using the proposed methodology, mechanical component reliability can be predicted according to different mission requirements. For an explanation of this methodology, a probabilistic method of deciding the relationship between the allowable stress or fatigue endurance limit and reliability is also presented.
