DETERMINING THE RELIABILITY OF DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES

Reliability is a characteristic of technical products. It gives an assurance that these products will perform the required function for a given period under the given service conditions. The paper describes a simplified procedure for predicting the reliability in order to focus the interest of the design engineers on these problems. Predicting the reliability, also by way of laborious mathematical methods, will become more important in future, since an assessment of reliability is made an integral part of contracts to an ever-increasing extent.
