Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This collection of peer-reviewed papers covers topics such as product development methodology; sustainable and green-product development; system reliability; design optimization; reliability methodology and tools in design and manufacturing; collaboration theories and methodologies in product development; innovative product development processes and tools; product-service-systems; virtual and digital product development techniques; product life-cycle management; structural reliability, safety and integrity; supply-chain management for product development; product operational reliability; product development policy and regulation; education and training in product development and reliability.The 51 peer-reviewed papers in this collection explore the development and reliability of consumer products and the science and engineering that underlies the processes. The topics include the strength and reliability analysis of hydraulic support, predicting wear life for a large diameter spool valve, simulating the ship production design process based on a hierarchical timed Petri net, a multi-objective oriented product design method for machine tools, and failure analysis on bearing of railway freight cars with radial bogle.
