Reliability design of power transmission

With the worldwide competition so strong, it is essential for motor vehicles, regarding to power transmission, to have high reliability. The reliability design is one of the ways to reach this objective. The stage of design is the most important one in the life cycle of a power transmission. Reliability design, within the designing stage, correlates directly with the power transmission reliability. The problem of a practical power transmission, design has been solved by developing of a methodology suited to the purpose. The basis of the developed design represents a contemporary approach to designing, comprising the phases of conceptual, preliminary and detail designs, with applying of the reliability design method within these phases. Approach to technical system design, the algorithms of the developed vehicle design from market-users by reliability preliminary design, detailed reliability design to manufacturing, reliability block diagram are presented in the paper. The developed and applied methodology enables reliability design of the vehicle and its elements, with the objective of obtaining a reliable vehicle which is one of the main requirements for the competitiveness in the market of automotive vehicles.
