Synopsis

This text presents the elementary statistics of reliability analysis to an engineering audience. It starts by assuming no previous familiarity with statistics. The book contains many practical examples as well as problems and solutions and is aimed at a first course in reliability analysis for engineers. It is intended for reliability courses taught in engineering departments. The book is introductory, but the course may be taught in any year of undergraduate degree or at MSc level.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"DIe sehr leiche Lekture verhilft dementsprechend schnell einen Einstieg in einige Grundfragestellungen der Zuverlassigkeitshorie", Professor Dr, Rainer Schlittgen, Institut fur Statistik und Okonometrie University of Hamburg" writing in Allgemeines Statisisches Archiv 81 Band 1/1997 Jan/Marz or "The very easy reading helps accordingly fast an entrance in the main problems of the reliability theory"

... it deserves to become a classic on the subject, not least because it combines accessibility with relevance, and range with rigour...a really helpful and useful book that is well provided with worked examples as well as graded exercises which enable the reader to consolidate an understanding of the text and verify his or her ability to apply the methods correctly. (IMechE Vol 210, 1996)

This book contains a nice collection of practical problems, their solutions, and the theory behind them ........... The book contains a large number of exercises with detailed solutions given in an appendix. These may be found to be very useful for any engineer who studies the ideas of reliability analysis from this book (Zbl. Math. 867)

Présentation de l'éditeur

In ordinary life "reliability" is an ephemeral but desirable property of a machine or service that is generally judged in a very subjective manner. For an engineer reliability has large cost and sometimes safety implications; it is therefore very important to be able to quantify it. This book is an introduction to reliability analysis aimed at engineers (not statisticians). As such it begins by assuming no prior statistical knowledge. It teaches by examples taken from engineering problems. Exercises are built around real machines and events and the solutions given illuminate the subject. Being able to quantify reliability allows engineers to quantify its financial implications in terms of maintenance policies, running costs, and spares stockholding. In safety critical situations (transport or military equipment) the implications are wider. In any complex project it is extremely important to be able to make reliability predictions.
