DETECTION DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS--PROCEEDINGS OF 22ND MEETING OF THE MECHANICAL FAILURES PREVENTION GROUP

These Proceedings consist of a group of nineteen submitted papers and discussions from the 22nd meeting of the Mechanical Failures Prevention Group which was held at the Grand Hotel in Anaheim, California on April 23-25, 1975. Failure detection, diagnosis, and prognosis represent the central theme of the Proceedings. Technology and techniques, ongoing diagnostic programs, and coming requirements in the field of DD&P are discussed. In addition, several case histories are presented. These include Oil Analysis in Perspective by R.S. Miller; An Overview of Current Efforts to Detect and Prevent Steel Wheel Failures by G.L. Leadly; Diagnostics for Refrigerator Car Diesel Generating Sets by R.F. McKee; and Using Acoustic Emission Technology to Predict Structural Failure by H.L. Dunegan.
