In exida’s Component Reliability Database (CRD), every component includes a Useful Life expressed in years and/or cycles.
This post, drawing from exida's whitepaper [1] on how environmental factors impact component reliability, shows how Useful Life, like failure rates, is affected by factors such as temperature…
As the inventor of the FMEDA process, our experts planned a series of eight webinars introducing FMEDA concepts and methods available in the Youtube playlist below.
The series starts with an introduction for the beginner, quickly moves to medium level topics, and finally, at the end, covers the more…
Realistic component failure rate data is critical to an effective Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA). This failure rate data can eventually be obtained from component parts manufacturers, research and field failure data analysis. For example, exida’s Component Reliability Database (CRD) has been built from internet research, technical…
Your product's safety and reliability depend on the constant battle between component stress and strength throughout its useful lifetime. This dynamic is influenced by everything from design and manufacturing to usage and environment. Crucially, without…
