Round-robin test

Round-robin test

A round-robin test is a quality control procedure in which several independent laboratories perform the same test under the same conditions and compare their results to ensure consistency and accuracy. It involves measurement, analysis, and experimentation and is often used in experimental testing. Although expensive and time-consuming, round-robin tests are necessary to compare laboratory findings when different devices are used to perform tests.From: Introduction to Integrative Engineering [2017], A round-robin finite element analysis of human femur mechanics between seven participating laboratories with experimental validation [2019], Advanced Testing and Characterization of Bituminous Materials, Two Volume Set [2019]

In this section, we demonstrate the use of the computational modeling technique to perform mechanical testing of a femoral stem of a hip implant according to ISO 7206-4:2010(E) and compare the results with those of the ASTM round-robin test. Note that a round-robin test is a test (including measurement, analysis, and experiment) in which several participating laboratories perform their independent tests by following the same set of conditions and compare the interlaboratory testing results. The CAD geometric model for the femoral stem used here is the one used for the ASTM round-robin test that is available for download at http://www.astm.org/committee/F04.htm. Figure 16.6 shows the hip stem model after being imported into COMSOL.

In experimental testing, it is customary that round-robin tests are carried out as quality control procedures (ISO/IEC 17025 2017). The aim of such benchmark studies is to find out whether comparable results are achieved in the different participating laboratories when similar samples are used in the same task.
