Description
Summary:This paper provides a general overview of developments and progress in mechanical failure prevention technology, primarily over the last three decades. It is a condensed version of a paper presented at a luncheon of the ASME Reliability, Stress Analysis and Failure Prevention Committee at the 1995 Design Engineering Technical Conferences. The principal reference sources used are the proceedings of the 49 conferences of the Mechanical Failures Prevention Group (MFPG), now the Society for Machinery Failure Prevention Technology (MFPT). Since many technical disciplines are involved in this complex technology, an attempt is made to place mechanical failure prevention in perspective. Discussion of the evolving technology is presented under four topic areas that serve to cover most of the elements of this broad-based field. These topics are Diagnostics and Prognostics, Failure Analysis, Life Extension and Durability, and Sensors Technology. This article is from Technology Showcase: Integrated Monitoring, Diagnostics and Failure Prevention. Proceedings of a Joint Conference, Mobile, Alabama, April 22-26, 1996, AD-A325 558, p1-13.
