"This is a book that should be on the desk of anyone truly concerned with reliability. The whole question of conditional reliabilities is current and important; and, the question of reliability generalization is being opened out and moving away from Cronbach’s approach. The topic is an important one."--Richard L.

Modern society depends heavily upon a host of systems of varying complexity to perform the services required. The importance of reliability assumes new dimensions, primarily because of the higher cost of these highly complex machines required by mankind and the implication of their failure. This is why all industrial organizations wish to equip their scientists, engineers, managers and administrators with a knowledge of reliability concepts and applications. Based on the author’s 20 years experience as reliability educator, researcher and consultant, Reliability Engineering intr

The maintenance of systems in engineering is of increasing concern to managers and designers in all branches of engineering, whether they are producing high-quality products or designing highly-reliable systems. In recent decades, reliability theory has produced many innovations in maintenance policy. Maintenance Theory of Reliability is a survey of useful and practical maintenance models covering replacement, preventative maintenance and inspection. The book provides a detailed introduction to maintenance policies, updates the reader on the current status of the field and indicates future d
