ADVANCES IN INTELLIGENT APPLICATIONS AND INNOVATIVE APPROACH

This paper outlines the value of using Weibull Analysis, Reliability Block Diagrams Reliability Centered Maintenance and Root Cause Analysis and as techniques for processes, products, equipment and services improvement. Reliability Engineering tools help to determine the relationship between the process and the equipment. A demonstration of where and how the reliability engineering techniques can be applied is shown in the research. Every product and process design and their development are unique such that meticulous planning is required to map the reliability tasks to the identified constraints. A product with complex multidisciplinary integrated functions requires efficient reliability tools. These tools are required to be used to assess built-in safety and reliability features of the product under an applicable environment. The techniques discussed in this research will help in determining the present and future reliability of the products or processes.

PAMs were developed by using biological inspiration from human triceps and biceps in an effort to produce a manipulator with characteristics of a human arm. On the mechanical compliance, this article focuses on how material parameters can be adjusted to achieve mechanical compliance. Furthermore a comparison in applicability of either method will show that the two will function more effectively to achieve compliance if they are used together.
