AUTOMOTIVE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM DESIGN BASED ON RELIABILITY PARAMETERS
Keywords:
Automotive Transmission System, Reliability, Safety, Factor of Safety, Failure Analysis.Abstract
Failure of any component or product or system before its time period is always unacceptable and hence in the engineering design the safety and reliability of any system is invariably the principal technical objective. The level of design, control and manufacturing of automobiles transmission system has always been critical in terms of reliability and safety. This paper describes the work done by the Author(s) for the reliability based design of automobiles transmission system based on its failure criteria at subsystem and system level in order to improve the reliability of whole transmission system and henceforth the safety and it has also shown with the results that while designing such system based on reliability parameters, the reliability has always improved with the improved factor of safety values.
