Abstract

The intent of this document is to present failure mode distributions to be used in support of reliability analysis such a FMEAs and FMECAs when used in conjunction with accepted reliability prediction techniques such as MIL-HDBK- 21 along with RACs Nonelectronic Parts Reliability Data (NPRD). The intent of these distributions is that they form a basis for standard set of distributions to be used in the reliability engineering industry. The scope of this publication covers all electronic, mechanical and electromechanical parts or assemblies on which RAC has collected failure data.
