the fatigue life curves. The use of Monte Carlo simulation for extending the reliability model to cover assemblages of components and effects from non-simulated failure modes was discussed. A case study was performed on an air-cooled intercooler. The simulation was found to give excellent correlation with experimental measurements. No further improvements in the model were deemed necessary. The model was considered a suitable platform for performing additional design simulations and for extrapolation of the reliability statistics.
