Reliability Engineering (Hardback)

Condition

GOOD: The book's cover, spine, binding, and pages are in good condition, showing minimal shelf wear. A previous owner's name is written in ink inside the front cover, but there appears to be no other writing on the book's pages. The dust jacket shows the most wear, with small tears on the spine and back flap.

Product Details

"...reliability and the concepts of maintainability, system effectiveness, and system worth become inextricably involved in all major phases of the genesis and use of commercial, military, and space systems, including design, development, procurement, production, operation, and maintenance. "—from the Preface, by William H. von Alven.

The text delves into the mathematics (Calculus and Linear Algebra are definite requirements for this book), data collection and analysis which make up the study of system reliability.

Chapters include:

1. System effectiveness
2. Mathematical Concepts: Probability
3. Mathematical Concepts: Statistics
4. Data Collection Procedures
5. Data Analysis Procedures
6. Reliability Allocation
7. Redundancy: Situations Not Dependent on Time
8. Redundancy in Time-Dependent Situations
9. Fundamentals of Reliability Prediction
10. Maintainability Analysis
11. Quantification of Effectiveness
12. Designing for Reliability and Maintainability
13. Sampling Procedures
14. Reliability Demonstration Procedures
15. Effectiveness and Cost
16. Reliability Engineering, Programming, and Management
