In this test,the sample size and method is notwell define, but it is an industrywhich must be correlated back to.The process we develop must be arepeatable, reliable test that willbring this outdated test into a formthat has Gage R&R of 30%.

Describe how you tested your design or prototype to verify how well it worked. Include reactions from your client, assuming you had sufficient time to do a pilot test of your product with its intended client.”You have a functioning prototypeSample PDS for Large Bore Naval GunTesting a scaled prototype1.Designed and fabricated a scaled insert2.Shot 30 rounds3.Evaluated insert surface, compared with conventional profileEvaluation through prototype testingMaterial and profile must be selected for function and durability (high temp and pressure)Verified profile dimensionsReturn to PDSTABLE 2: Final SpecificationsEvaluation Methods when you have a Detailed DesignFinal drawings have required dimensionsSimulate function using prototypes and/or analysisbut not a functioning Prototype.The Important Role of Simulation"The problem we have with the nuclear stockpile is similar to one you might have at home with a car you've kept in the garage for 20 to 30 years," said Mark Seager, assistant department head for advanced technology at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. "How do you carefully maintain the car as it ages so that when you go to start the car, you can be very confident it will start? That the probability that it won't start is less than one in a million? That's a pretty high level of certitude." ….The massive computer will be used in the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California to crunch data in relation with America's military arsenal (nuclear simulation tests) although other civilian uses could be envisaged. IBM says that Sequoia could match in one hour, what the world population's armed with calculators could achieve in 40 years or so, delivering the processing power of 2 million laptopsYou have a Detailed DesignAbbreviated PDSThe entire system:A very complex device…subdivided into smaller parts… divided intomanageable pieces.Simulation of one stationEvaluation Methods when you are Developing a Test Apparatus or ProcedurePDS includes requirements for test apparatus and test procedure R&R is a concernDevelop/identify test method outcomes (benchmark could be an existing standard)Build apparatus and test samplesSuccess = test results repeatable (statistics required!)You are Developing a Test Standard“Our goal is to develop a processfor testing paint adhesion whichcan be related to the current ASTMStandard D3359-02.
