Books by Keyword: Reliability Analysis

Description:

The 48th volume of "International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa" is presented to your attention. The included papers are reflecting the research results in the fields of materials science, applied mechanics and mechanical engineering, power engineering, power efficiency, control, mechatronics, communication and industrial engineering. The proposed scientific articles can be useful for the majority of engineers as well as for academic teachers and students majoring in the mentioned fields of engineering science.

Description: This special issue contains articles from the field of the strength of materials and structural components, additive manufacturing, and testing and modeling methods in materials science. We hope this volume will be interesting for many engineers from the area of machinery.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This collection of peer-reviewed papers covers topics such as product development methodology; sustainable and green-product development; system reliability; design optimization; reliability methodology and tools in design and manufacturing; collaboration theories and methodologies in product development; innovative product development processes and tools; product-service-systems; virtual and digital product development techniques; product life-cycle management; structural reliability, safety and integrity; supply-chain management for product development; product operational reliability; product development policy and regulation; education and training in product development and reliability.

Engineering design, whether applied to components, products, systems or processes, involves the development and application of technology and scientific knowledge to a complex multidisciplinary innovation process. Research in design methodology involves both the development of new engineering design methods and the study of the science of design methods and design practice. The present 18 peer-reviewed papers gather together the latest knowledge related to the “Innovating Processes” title of the volume.

Description: The objective of controlling uncertainty in mechanical engineering is significantly to enhance safety, reliability and economic efficiency in the development, production, use and conservation of natural resources.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This special collection of 19 peer-reviewed papers offers an academic and industrial perspective on the description, evaluation and control of uncertainty in:
1 Development,
2 Production and
3 Usage.
This work should meet the needs of a broad readership, and motivate further investigations.

Original contributions to the experimental, analytical and numerical modelling of processes related to advanced materials. Research work may investigate the interactions between the manufacture (machining, forming …) and behaviour or structures of advanced materials. For damage analysis using non-destructive testing (NDT), new measurement techniques, with or without contact, and the development of new means of process control are always welcome. Improvements in the integrity of structures, cost reduction in manufacturing and increases in productivity lead, for instance, to the substitution of welding and bonding processes for mechanical assembly processes. The present-day challenge is to design and process high-quality welded and bonded joints in order to enhance the durability of assemblies. This work should thus be read by anyone wishing to keep up with the field.
