Endurance tests of single machines production

The paper proposes to consider the reliability of machines in terms of mass and individual production. The proposed approach makes it possible to assess the impact of various failures of machine parts on the reliability of single-purpose vehicles. Failures occurring as a result of fatigue wear are considered, but they are of a sudden nature of failure. A condition is defined to prevent such failures, from which the assigned resource to the limit state of the part must be less than the resource of each particular part that may be susceptible to sudden failure. This condition can be applied both for serial production machines and for single-source machines. An algorithm for determining sample and aggregate parameters and an algorithm for resource testing for reliability for single-source machines are proposed. The key stage for the development of the algorithm is the resource testing of machines, the carrying out of which makes it possible to objectively assess the reliability of the loaded parts. To reduce the period for obtaining test results, it is necessary to carry out accelerated resource tests of machines, which can be achieved by intensive operation of machines with short stops for inspection and maintenance. Failures resulting from tests constitute a sample that, after being processed by theoretical laws, allows the determination of the smallest values. Studies have shown that even with the estimation of sample values, the possibility of premature failure continues. In this regard, the paper proposes to use the aggregate parameters to estimate the minimum values. The use of such an algorithm will make it possible to exclude the possibility of the onset of premature failures by determining the period of operation of vehicles during which the failure-free operation of cars is guaranteed.
