Modeling and Simulation Research of Time-Dependent Reliability Model of Tooth Carrier in Feed Mechanism

The time-dependent reliability model of Mechanical Component is influenced by many parameters such as stress, load, strength, strength degeneration and lifetime index. This paper builds the time-dependent reliability model when life is measured by the loading numbers. The variety law of mechanical component’s reliability with the lifetime is derived from the built model and simulation of tooth carrier in feed mechanism used in the sewing machine. The result shows that the time-dependent reliability model is effective and the reliability of component decreases obviously with the loading numbers when the strength degeneration is considered.
