Maintenance programs should ensure that equipment functions within specifications and optimized uptime. Reliability centered ...

The reliability of electronic assemblies is directly related to the failure rate: higher reliability means a lower failure rate of the drive system, as it reduces the probability of failure within a ...

Overcoming the constant challenge to maintain strict independence of functional safety while improving life cycle performance ...

I used to proudly proclaim the reliability of my previous aircraft exactly as given in the Gulfstream sales brochures: “the G450’s dispatch reliability rate is 99.7%” I wrote up our second missed trip ...

This article provides insights into the importance of an IC’s pin failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to comply with functional-safety standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO... 1. FMEA and its ...

Failure rate or base failure rate refers to the number of failures per unit of time, typically in terms of failures in time (FITs) equivalent to one failure in a billion hours, which can be expected ...
