Abstract:
This webinar will provide an in-depth understanding of the methodologies employed and the reliability predictions made in electrical, electronic, and electromechanical systems. It covers all handbook-based reliability prediction methods, taking the FIDES 2022 as a particular example case. The FIDES Guide 2022 is a reliability prediction handbook published by a group of European defense and aerospace manufacturers under the supervision of the French Ministry of Defense. This talk will present the the suitability of FIDES for predicting reliability. The evaluation is based on the fitness of the model used in FIDES for calculating the failure rate and the accuracy of its reliability predictions. The assessment makes use of the questionnaire in the IEEE Standard 1413, “IEEE Standard Framework for Reliability Prediction of Hardware.” The foundation of FIDES (like other handbooks such as Mil-Hdbk-217 on the erroneous assumption of a constant failure rate for electronics, its omission of critical attributes (e.g., materials and geometry of components), and the subjectivity of certain inputs to the model make it inadequate for producing an accurate prediction. This presentation is based on his soon-to-be-published paper “Assessment of the FIDES Guide 2022: Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Reliability Prediction Methodology.” Dr. Das brings his experience as the reliability prediction working group chair of the IEEE Standards Association to this special event.
