Abstract
A method for predictive analysis of the performance and reliability of an assembly includes measuring at least one force associated with construction of the assembly, and comparing the measured force to a predetermined expected force range, wherein the predetermined expected force range is determined by measuring at least one force associated with the construction of a plurality of similar assemblies, and determining an average force profile for the plurality of assemblies based on the plurality of measurements taken.
