The design and implementation of the non-electric product life analysis and calculation software

Abstract

Non-electric products, undertaking power, transmission and other tasks, are important parts of the equipment. The normal operation of the non-electrical products is of great importance which leads to an urgent need of the quantitative analysis for life. Generally, the life of a product is predicted by tests, which cost a lot of time and money. Considering the lack of engineering life analysis methods, basic life models are collected through research of failure mechanism and survey on domestic and international data. The models are then classified as a library, based on which, a piece of life analysis and calculation software is designed and implemented. A life model library is built as well as the mapping relationships between life models and typical non-electric products and components by sorting the basic life models. And then a piece of software of life model library is designed. Furthermore, the implementation of the functions is comprehensively introduced from three aspects: project management module, data function module and database management module. Finally, an application of calculating the life of a typical nonelectric product is illustrated to prove the software’s practicality and efficiency in engineering. The result of the application can be used to make suggestions for design and improvement of the products.
