Building high levels of reliability into components and products is one of the most critical aspects of design and production in today's manufacturing world, where quality has a direct impact on competitive advantage. Comprehensive, thorough, and totally up to date with the latest developments in the field, Reliability Engineering is the only book to approach the topic from an engineering vantage point, describing reliability engineering's role in the various phases of development - from early design through production, assembly, and maintenance. The book covers every aspect of the field, including the basic calculations for reliability estimation, the construction and application of the likelihood function in estimating the parameters of a failure time distribution, and even the science of ensuring reliability objectives through preventive maintenance and warranties.In particular, you will appreciate the thorough coverage of parametric and nonparametric reliability models. Accelerated life testing, one of the most important developments in the field, is covered in depth. Every theory presented is followed by an engineering example to illustrate its application, and an entire chapter devoted to case studies demonstrates how the methods discussed in the book are used to solve real-life situations.Special software included with the book will enable you to apply a variety of reliability models, including parametric, nonparametric, and accelerated life testing. Together, the comprehensive coverage, current information, and valuable software make this package an indispensable resource for anyone involved in reliability engineering. 0201634813B04062001
