Abstract :
A reliability prediction technique for mechanical equipment is described that enables a designer to quantify the effects of varying design and operational constraints on a mechanical component´s failure rate. The designer can then implement design changes to improve the systems´ reliability before fabrication begins. In addition, reliability information identified by this procedure during design can be utilized for effective utilization of testing resources
