Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
These proceedings of the August 2008 conference include over 120 papers on the improvement of mechanical product development methods and reliability, focusing on such general topics materials-related product and reliability technologies, variability in materials properties, scale-induced changes in properties, failure analysis, design analysis, manufacturing and machining technologies, numeric modeling, and product innovation development. Papers address the reliability of experts and expert systems, measurement of scale-induced fatigue behavior for railway axles, deformation of the injection mold core, modeling of fatigue crack growth based on two cyclic plasticity models, mechanical fatigue life estimations for pistons, workflow modeling methods for collaborative product development, functional evolution process modeling and management for conceptual product design, damage analysis of glass-to-metal diffusion welded joints, delivery of a quality product in a value chain, and a method of fuzzy probability using a small sample. Although represented as comprising multiple volumes by the publisher, these proceedings are published in a single volume.
