Monte Carlo simulation and first order reliability method (FORM) are used to evaluate the probability of failure. hydrostatic bearing fluid reliability Monte Carlo FORM Fluid bearings are vital components of machines used in mechanical...

...Gao Xue Hai; Huang Xiao Diao; Hong Rong Jing; Wang Hua; Chen Jie Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) corresponds to the formation of the first spall, which is a stochastic behavior; therefore, the RCF life should be reliably calculated. A method for evaluating RCF reliability was developed based...

...Dong Zhu; Ning Ren; Q. Jane Wang Surface pitting due to contact fatigue is a major failure mode of many mechanical components, such as various gears and rolling-element bearings. Pitting life prediction, therefore, is vital to design and performance/reliability improvements. Conventional prediction...

...   nm ) than design B ( 4.12 – 3.5 = 0.62   nm ) , where 3 σ in estimation is estimated to be 1 nm. Thus, slider B can fly lower without causing large lubricant depletion and therefore has a better reliability. The existence of a critical clearance also explains...

...Michael N. Kotzalas, Ph.D The original two-parameter Weibull distribution used for rolling element fatigue tends to under-estimate life at high levels of reliability. This is due to the fact that a finite life value for which 100% of the population will survive cannot be considered with this method...
