Synopsis

This book constitutes a comprehensive and up-to-date text on this important topic for students, practising engineers and managers. The second edition consolidates the practical approach established in the first edition. New material is included on the engineering aspects of reliability and environmental testing, repairable system reliability, manufacturing control and production testing, and on maintenance and maintainability. Particular emphasis is placed on proven methods for the development and production of reliable equipment. The mathematical concepts described are limited to those necessary for the solution of the problems covered.

Quatrième de couverture

THE classic text on reliability engineering and management has now been fully revised and updated.

Practical Reliability Engineering provides a comprehensive, up–to–date description of all the important methods for the design, development, manufacture and maintenance of reliable engineering products and systems. Students, engineers and managers alike will find this a valuable reference source.

With emphasis firmly placed on the practical aspects of reliability engineering, the fourth edition provides extended coverage of mechanical, electronic and software failure mechanisms, design and testing. New sections include Petri nets for system reliability modelling, accelerated test and the M(t) data analysis method. Recent developments in international standardisation are discussed and guidance is provided on essential management issues. The inclusion of a draft Project Reliability Plan enhances the value to those involved in systems engineering and project management.

Practical Reliability Engineering fulfils the requirements of the qualifying examination in reliability engineering of the American Society for Quality (USA). The updated end of chapter questions make this a key text for students undertaking courses in quality assurance or reliability.
