Development of maintainability index for mechanical systems
(1999)
A procedure based on a digraph and matrix method is developed for evaluation of maintainability index of mechanical systems. Features which characterize or ease in maintenance of a system are identified and are called the ...
Reliability evaluation and selection of rolling element bearings
(2000)
A procedure based on graph theory and matrix approach has been developed for the reliability evaluation and selection of a rolling element bearing for an application. The reliability of the bearing is evaluated considering ...
Failure cause identification of tribo-mechanical systems using fault tree—a digraph approach
(2003)
A procedure for the failure cause identification of tribo-mechanical systems is presented based on fault-tree using a digraph approach. A variable-event system digraph for a tribo-mechanical system is suggested which takes ...
Maintainability design and evaluation of mechanical systems based on tribology
(2002)
Maintainability of mechanical systems based on tribology is suggested and evaluated in this paper. Tribo-features of mechanical systems, which characterise maintainability are identified and are modelled in terms of ...
Digraph and matrix methods for the machinability evaluation of work materials
(2002)
This paper presents a methodology to evaluate the machinability of work materials for a given machining operation using digraph and matrix methods. A universal machinability index is proposed that evaluates and ranks work ...
FMEA—A diagraph and matrix approach
(1992)
This paper presents a method for failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) of mechanical and hydraulic systems based on a diagraph and matrix approach. The method takes into account structural as well as functional interaction ...
Fault location of tribo-mechanical systems - a graph theory and matrix approach
(2000)
A procedure for the fault location of tribo-mechanical systems based on graph theory and matrix approach is presented. A component digraph which represents the failure propagation network of the tribo-mechanical system is ...
