„The well written book may be used as a reference work forpractitioners and as a textbook for courses in reliabilityengineering, where knowledge in probability calculus and statisticsis presumed.“ (Zentralblatt MATH, 1 December2012)
„I recommend this book for graduate courses, as it isclear and complete, and treats a vital 21st centuryproblem.“ (Computing Reviews, 29 November2012)
Reliability Engineering
von Elsayed A. ElsayedA newly revised and updated edition that details both thetheoretical foundations and practical applications of reliabilityengineering
Reliability is one of the most important quality characteristicsof components, products, and large and complex systems--but ittakes a significant amount of time and resources to bringreliability to fruition. Thoroughly classroom- and industry-tested, this book helps ensure that engineers see reliability success withevery product they design, test, and manufacture.
Divided into three parts, Reliability Engineering, SecondEdition handily describes the theories and their practical useswhile presenting readers with real-world examples and problems tosolve. Part I focuses on system reliability estimation for timeindependent and failure dependent models, helping engineers createa reliable design. Part II aids the reader in assembling necessarycomponents and configuring them to achieve desired reliabilityobjectives, conducting reliability tests on components, and usingfield data from similar components. Part III follows what happensonce a product is produced and sold, how the manufacturer mustensure its reliability objectives by providing preventive andscheduled maintenance and warranty policies.
This Second Edition includes in-depth and enhancedchapter coverage of:
* Reliability and Hazard Functions
* System Reliability Evaluation
* Time- and Failure-Dependent Reliability
* Estimation Methods of the Parameters of Failure-TimeDistributions
* Parametric Reliability Models
* Models for Accelerated Life Testing
* Renewal Processes and Expected Number of Failures
* Preventive Maintenance and Inspection
* Warranty Models
* Case Studies
A comprehensive reference for practitioners and professionals inquality and reliability engineering, Reliability Engineeringcan also be used for senior undergraduate or graduate courses inindustrial and systems, mechanical, and electrical engineeringprograms.
