A Comprehensive Method of Apportioning Reliability Goals for New Product of Hydraulic Excavator

الملخص EN

It is important to allocate a reliability goal for the hydraulic excavator in the early design stage of the new system.

There are some effective methods for setting reliability target and allocating its constituent subsystems in the field of aerospace, electric, vehicles, railways, or chemical system, but until now there is no effective method for the hydraulic excavator or engineering machinery.

In this paper, an approach is proposed which combines with the conventional reliability allocation methods for setting reliability goals and allocating the subsystem and parts useful in the early design stage of the hydraulic excavator newly developed.

It includes Weibull analysis method, modified Aeronautical Radio Inc.

(ARINC) method, and modified systematic failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) method.

After completing reliability allocation, it is necessary to organize the designers and experts to evaluate the rationality of the reliability target through FEMA analysis considering feasibility of the improvement technically for the part which was new developed or had fault in its predecessor.

The proposed approach provides an easy methodology for allocate a practical reliability goal for the hydraulic excavator capturing the real life behavior of the product.

It proposes a simple and unique way to capture the improvement of the subsystems or components of the hydraulic excavator.

The proposed approach could be extended to consider other construction machinery equipment and have practicality value to research excellent mechanical product.
