Shock and Damage Models in Reliability Theory
Most engineering systems suffer some deterioration with time from wear, - tigue,and damage, and ultimately fail when their strength exceeds a critical level. Failure mechanisms by which the causes of failures are brought about arephysicalprocesses.Thetypesoffailurecauses,howtoproceedtofailureby which causes, and the consequences of failures have been physically studied. This has been developed in fracture mechanics and mechanics of materials and has applied to such components and systems. On the other hand, failure mechanisms are in probabilistic and shastic motions. Such behaviors are mathematically observed and analyzed in the study of shastic processes. My purpose in writing this book is to build a bridge between theory and practice and to introduce the reliability engineer to some damage models. Failures of units are generally classifled into two failure modes: Catastrophic failure in which units fail suddenly and degradation failure in which units deteriorate gradually with time. The former failures often occur in electric parts. The latter failures mainly occur in machinery. Such reliability models are calledshock ordamage models and can be analyzed, using the techniques of shastic processes. There exist a large number of damage models that form reliability models mechanically and shastically in the real world. Reliability quantities of these models have been theoretically obtained.
