Reliability-based design for automobiles in China

Abstract

The level of automobile design and manufacturing is an important sign of leadership in science and technology and economic power. The achievements of theories and methods for reliability-based design of automobiles in China are reviewed. For reliability-based design, the theories and practices, optimization, sensitivity, and robustness are estimated. The techniques of reliability-based design for automobiles are developed. The techniques service to the “hollow” phenomena of kernel technology, product innovative power, and independent development power can be solved.
