DTIC ADA035295: Application of Dimensional Analysis to the Prediction of Mechanical Reliability

This report documents a study to determine the feasibility of applying dimensional analysis to the prediction of mechanical reliability. The study concludes that dimensional analysis is an essential tool for the development of empirical models for mechanical reliability. As an example, dimensional analysis is applied to the prediction of mean-time-to failure for involute splines. Advantages of dimensional analysis are enumerated.
