This was followed by another transition to 3D solid modeling, where the part was drawn with ideal dimensions. Unfortunately, this ability to draw a perfect part in three dimensions is all too often accompanied by a neglect of focus on how to accurately and uniquely represent the part for manufacture and inspection. Some mechanical engineers will benefit from such a rigorous training. All mechanical engineers, however, should be familiar with the basic concepts and notation.
It is always a challenge to find time to include additional material in a course. To facilitate this, the chapter is arranged and presented at a level appropriate for students to learn in an independent study format. The problems at the end of the chapter are more like quiz questions, and are focused on checking comprehension of the most fundamental concepts.
Instructors are encouraged to consider using this chapter as a reading assignment, coupled with even a minimal lecture or online discussion.
Of course, there is ample material for expanded presentation and discussion as well. Further discussion of the development of the design factor is presented, as well as the statistical relationships between reliability and the probability of failure, and reliability and the design factor.
Statistical considerations are provided here rather than in a chapter at the end of the text as in past editions. However, the material of that chapter pertinent to this edition has been integrated within the sections that utilize statistics. The stand-alone section on stochastic methods in Chap. Approximately 50 percent of the problems are targeted for Connect implementation. Some mechanical engineers will benefit from such a rigorous training.

The stand-alone section on stochastic methods in Chap. Approximately 50 percent of the problems are targeted for Connect implementation. With the problem parameterization available in this Webbased platform, students can be assigned basic problems with minimal duplication from student to student and semester to semester.
For a good balance, this edition maintains many end-of-chapter problems that are open-ended and suitable for exploration and design.
