Description

This research project aims the development of theoretical and experimental procedures for electrical mechanical systems reliability evaluation, characterized by

The researchers have been developing reliability evaluation methods for automobile electrical mechanical systems, including power train (to extend guarantee period), durability evaluation of tires and chassis for heavy load trucks and reliability growth analysis for electronic fuel injection systems for Diesel Engines.

The ongoing researches also include the development of reliability-based accelerated test method for evaluation of complex electronic systems.
