In the article “Redundancy for Safety Compliant Automotive Devices”, we saw how redundant components help in improving the reliability and availability of a system. By replicating a component in a ...

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 ...

There are many aspects to understanding how to design reliable products, but let’s start by some explanation of the terminology used when describing reliability. Failure rate, λ (lambda), is defined ...

How controlled reconditioning of railcar truck components prevents failure chains, improves reliability, and reduces unplanned maintenance.
