Manufacturing Reliability Growth for Automotive Engineering Volume III - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

As the third installment in SAE International's DOE for Product Reliability Growth series, this volume explores the critical intersection of manufacturing processes, reliability, and profitability in automotive engineering. With a sharp focus on innovation, cost-efficiency, and customer satisfaction, this book demonstrates how design of experiments (DOE) methodologies can transform product quality through smarter manufacturing decisions. From structural assemblies to additive manufacturing, Volume III offers hands-on, data-driven guidance for engineers and professionals. Key topics include: ¿ Structural Joints: Analyze and optimize bonded and mechanical joints-bolts, rivets, welds, adhesives, and more-using real-world DOE case studies to ensure robust assembly. ¿ Mechanical Fabrication: Improve precision and consistency in processes like injection molding, drilling, heat treatment, and surface finishing through targeted DOE applications. ¿ Electronic Fabrication: Harness DOE to enhance reliability in electronic components, including solder reflow, IC interconnects, PCB coatings, and advanced connectors. ¿ Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing: Explore how DOE improves dimensional accuracy, material behavior, and performance of 3D-printed parts-from acoustic dampeners to embedded sensors. ¿ Smart Manufacturing & Industry 4.0 Integration: Leverage time-to-event, degradation, and recurrent event data with digital shadows, IoT, and cloud computing to drive continuous improvement. By linking statistical rigor with real-world applications, this volume enables teams to reduce waste, boost product reliability, and accelerate innovation across manufacturing disciplines. Whether you're an automotive engineer, production manager, or quality specialist, this book is your roadmap to mastering modern manufacturing for the era of electrification and digital transformation.
