Introduction to Reliability and Maintainability Engineering (Paperback, International ed)

The aim of this text is to provide the reader with the fundamental concepts, models and analysis techniques necessary to perform reliability and maintainability engineering. It also covers the analysis of failure and repair data while assuming minimal formal education in probability and statistics on the part of the student. It features a logical development of concepts and methods and introduces probability and statistical techniques as necessary to support the development of R&M concepts. Computer software allows the reader to focus on concepts and analysis and not on numerical calculations and an emphasis is placed on practical applications of reliability methods.
