Basic Design Engineering Goals
- Design Engineering Goals for Product:
- “performs as expected”
- “works all the time” & “lasts long”
- “is easy to maintain”
- and THAT
- no damage occurs to product
- no damage or harm to environment
- no harm or injury to operator or user
Design for Robustness
- Methods to reduce the sensitivity of product performance to variations such as: - manufacturing (materials & processes) - wear - operating environment
- Currently used methods
- Taguchi Method
- Probabilistic optimal design (Monte Carlo)
- Both Taguchi and Monte Carlo methods use statistics and probability theory
Failure Modes & Effects Analysis
- The FMEA Method seeks to systematically identify and correct potential product or process deficiencies before they occur
- The Process
- Identify EVERY Way in Which Product Can FAIL; i.e., determine the Failure MODES
- Analyze the CONSEQUENCES of Every Failure; i.e., determine the EFFECTS
FMEA Example Log Splitter
- FMEA considers Both DESIGN and MANUFACTURING Deficiencies
- Example Hydraulic Log Splitter
- Hydraulic hose, on a home-use log splitter, begins to leak.
- The leak reduces the pressure to the piston/ram resulting in poor splitting.
- The leak drips oil on ground, creating a mess, costly too!
- Upon examination, a weak spot is found on hose due to poor manufacturing!
FMEA Main Concepts
- Failure Mode : the “way” a part fails to perform
- e.g. failure mode: hose leaks
- Effect : adverse consequence of failure mode
- e.g. hose leak results in oil spills, refill costs
- Effects can be severe or hardly noticeable.
- Cause : why it fails (or may fail)
- e.g. poor hose manufacturing, improper pressure
- Causes occur with some likelihood or probability
- Dectectability : the ability to discover the cause before the part is shipped from the factory. - e.g. conduct a pressure test to detect leaks?
RPN Calculation
- Step 1: determine the failure modes
- From:
- Engineering design specifications
- Function decomposition diagrams
- functions ---- matter, energy, signal
- HoQ
- free body diagrams
- force flow diagrams
- process flow diagrams
- configuration sketches / drawings
RPN Calculation
- Step 2: determine potential effects of each failure mode
- Step 3: determine a severity ( S ) rating for each effect from the Severity rating table.
- Step 4: determine an occurrence ( O ) rating for each cause from the Occurrence rating table.
- Step 5: determine a detection ( D ) rating for each cause from the Detection rating table
Occurrence Rating Criteria
Occurence (O) Rating Likelihood Description (^10) Expected >30 % > One per day 9 Very likely 30 % (3 per 10) 8 Probable 5 % (5 per 100) One per week (^7) Occasional 1 % ( 1 per 100) One per month 6 More plausible 0.3 % (3 per 1,000) One per three months 5 Plausible 4 Remote 0.006 % (6 per 10^5 ) One per year 3 Unlikely 0.00006 % (6 per 10^7 ) One per three years 2 Very unlikely (^1) Improbable < 2 per 10^9 events > five years per failure
Detection Rating Criteria
Detection (D) Rating Detectability Description 10 Impossible Impossible to detect, or no inspection 9 Very rare 8 Rare 7 Possible Some chance of detecting, or 50% inspection 6 Quite possible 5 Somewhat likely 4 Likely Quite likely to detect, or 75% inspection 3 Quite likely 2 Almost certain (^1) Certain Will be detected, or 100% inspection

Define Safe Product/System
- No injury to user, (products liability)
- No injury to consumer/society
- No injury to production worker
- No damage to personal property
- No damage to real property or the environment
Hazards
- Hazard ≡ a source of danger which has the potential to injure people or damage property or the environment
- Partial Hazard List
- Entrapment – pinch, crush
- Contact – heat, sharp edges, electric
- Impact – hammer, robot arm
- Ejection – grinder sparks, saw dust
- Entanglement – hair, clothing
- Noise & Vibration – hearing loss, HAVS
