Durability design with reliability methods: a case study of automotive wheel assemblies

The incorporation of reliability theory into a fatigue analysis program is studied. A thorough background in probabilistic methods and metal fatigue is presented, allowing a full understanding of these processes. An automotive wheel assembly is then introduced as an example of the applications of th...
