Colleagues -
I have been encouraged to record in a final email what I have discovered with
your help in my search for reliability data, so that future searches of the
EMC-PSTC archive will turn up the references. The
reliability/probability-of-failure figures are needed to allow calculations t

I think you are looking for the NSWC mechanical model for prediction. Most
of the proprietary software packages support this.

Colleagues -
May I thank everyone who has Emailed me both directly and though the mailing
list, for the help they have provided.
In just five-and-a-half hours I have received enough links and pointers to keep
occupied solidly for a week or two reading it all.
With thanks again,
Mark
Predicting the reliability of mechanical systems is much more complicated than
for electrical systems. Part of the trouble is that there are often more
uncontrolled variables in mechanical systems. You may find some information
on mechanical predictions in the electrical reliability sources, but
