Reliability, Maintainability, Supportability, and Logistics Division (G-11) Meeting

FD&E Committee Members are welcome to attend the G-11 meeting

The G-11 Division for Reliability, Maintainability, Supportability, and Logistics provides an industry/government forum to review RMS technology and investigates the interfaces with logistics support, engineering design and development, support costs, maintainability, reliability, repairability, tooling ,and diagnostics. This Division considers the usefulness of producing SAE reports in these areas and recommends such action to the Aerospace Council through the General Projects Division.


To:  SAE Fatigue Design & Evaluation Committee

Before our last meeting at SAE Congress in April 2005, the FD&E Steering Committee was approached by the Reliability Applications Committee of SAE G-11 in regards to the possibility of permanently joining the FD&E Committee. Off-line discussions about the possible "merger" were held at the last FD&E meeting in Detroit by members FD&E Steering Committee and members of the Reliability Application Committee. The objectives of the two committees have many features in common and seem to be a good fit.

The focus of the Reliability Applications Committee is to address issues of uncertainty, durability, and reliability of ground vehicles and to review applications of physics of failure technology; reliability and probabilistic technology; reliability/possibility based design methods and fatigue prediction to ground vehicles. 

The fall 2005 FD&E meeting will provide an opportunity to define and explore areas of common interest between the two committees.  This meeting will be very important in regards to "mapping-out" the future direction of the FD&E Committee.  Please plan to attend. Your participation and feedback will be needed.
