Dr. Klyatis

Lev Klyatis (born March 4,1933) is renowned for his pioneering work in successful prediction of product efficiency. This prediction is based on accurate simulation of real-world conditions, accelerated reliability and durability testing technology, and prediction methodology. His work plays a crucial role in predicting product quality, reliability, durability, safety, life-cycle cost, profit and other efficiency components within a given timeframe, such as service life or warranty period. Klyatis has authored more than 250 scientific papers.[1][2], 15 books with published reviews [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9][10][11] [12][13] [14][15], and holds 30 patents across various domains [16], including predictive modeling, accelerated testing, and improvement of engineering culture[1]

Early life and education[edit]

Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Klyatis received his education from high school No. 10 in Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk Agricultural University [17], Ukraine. He later earned his Ph.D. in Engineering Technology from Belorussia State Agricultural University [18]. Klyatis began his career focusing on the development of reliability and durability testing methodologies, aiming to accurately simulate real-world conditions in laboratory settings for the successful prediction of product efficiency. He earned his Doctor of Science degree from Leningrad Agricultural State University [19], further solidifying his expertise in engineering and contributing to his distinguished career in reliability testing and predictive technologies. Following his doctoral studies, Klyatis continued his academic pursuits by attaining the highest level of engineering education in Europe, receiving a Habilitation Doctor of Engineering degree from Latvia State Agricultural University [20], marking another milestone in his career dedicated to advancing engineering practices and reliability testing methodologies.

Career[edit]

During his tenure in the Soviet Union, Klyatis made significant contributions to the field of reliability testing.[1]. He served as a Principal Specialist for the USSR Ministry of Agriculture and chaired a special group at the All-Soviet Union Institute of Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture. Klyatis continued his research and leadership roles in Engineering Center TESTMASH and research centers in Russia, focusing on predictive efficiency in different areas of engineering[21] [1]

After migrating to the United States in 1993, Klyatis contributed to various organizations, including ASAE (American Society of Agricultural Engineers).[22][23] and ASQ (American Society for Quality)[24], where he served as a fellow, congress section chair, and seminar instructor. He joined Eccol, Inc., as the Chair of the Reliability Department, later transitioning to SoHaR, Inc., as a Senior Consultant and Advisor, and a professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology [25]

Klyatis's work extended beyond academia and consultancy; he collaborated with engineering giants such as NASA, Ford, DaimlerChrysler, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, BMW, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Carl Schenck, Black and Decker, offering expertise in addressing product degradation issues[1][4]. His insights and methodologies have been documented in numerous publications, standards, monographs and textbooks, influencing engineering practices worldwide.

In addition to his extensive research, authored books, and contributions to the field of engineering, Klyatis has written several notable books. In 2006, his book "Accelerated quality and reliability solutions" was published[7]. In 2012 he authored “Accelerated Reliability and Durability Testing Technology[15][11]. In 2018, he authored the "Reliability Prediction and Testing Textbook,"[3] offering comprehensive insights into predictive modeling and testing methodologies crucial for ensuring product reliability and demonstrates the ways for improving this process[13]. His 2020 publication, "Trends in Development of Accelerated Testing for Automotive and Aerospace Engineering"[4] received distinguished recognition by being selected for the Forbes 100 Best Books of All Time list. This acknowledgment underscores the impact of Klyatis's work in shaping not only engineering practices but also broader intellectual discourse. Most recently, in 2023, Klyatis released "Prediction Technologies for Improving Engineering Product Efficiency,"[1] offering innovative approaches to enhance product efficiency through predictive technologies. Negative trends in the development of simulation, testing, and prediction in engineering were analyzed, illuminating pathways for their improvement. These publications reflect Klyatis's commitment to knowledge dissemination and his ongoing efforts to shape the future of engineering practices.

Awards[edit]

Klyatis has received several accolades for his contributions to the field, including the ASQ Special Service Award, and the Outstanding Contribution Award from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) nominated by the Aerospace Council, among other awards.[1][17][22]. He was elected as a Foreign Academician of the Russian Federation Academy for Quality and recognized as an ASQ Fellow for his outstanding innovations in the field of physical simulation, accelerated reliability testing, and accurate prediction that leads to improving quality, reliability, maintainability, and durability during design, manufacturing, and usage; for implementation practices via consulting, seminars, books, and more than 200 publications; and for more than 30 patents in different countries[1] [3][24][16]

In recognition of his exceptional contributions to engineering, Klyatis was nominated for the prestigious Elmer Sperry Award[1], the highest honor bestowed upon engineers for their outstanding achievements. This nomination further underscores his significant impact on the field of engineering and his status as a leading authority in product efficiency, reliability testing and predictive technologies.

Klyatis's impact on engineering culture and his dedication to advancing successful product efficiency prediction, reliability and quality testing methodologies have left a lasting legacy in the field of engineering technology.[1][7]
