Introduction to Reliability Engineering

Using an interdisciplinary perspective, this outstanding book provides an introduction to the theory and practice of reliability engineering. This revised edition contains a number of improvements: new material on quality–related methodologies, inclusion of spreadsheet solutions for certain examples, a more detailed treatment which ties the load–capacity approach to reliability to failure rate methodology; a new section dealing with safety hazards of products and equipment.
