Physics-of-Failure Research Lab
Department of Mechanical Engineering, SUNY Korea
Physics-of-Failure (PoF)
is an engineering-based approach to reliability that uses modeling and simulation to eliminate failures and optimize design by addressing root-cause failure mechanisms.
Current research interest of PoF lab includes;
Reliability assessment,
Life prediction and model development,
Accelerated life test (ALT) design,
Prognostics and health management (PHM),
Design-for-reliability (DfR), and
Measurement and analysis of failure.
