Description
Summary:A comprehensively updated and reorganized new edition. The updates include comparative methods for improving reliability; methods for optimal allocation of limited resources to achieve a maximum risk reduction; methods for improving reliability at no extra cost and building reliability networks for engineering systems. Includes: * A unique set of 46 generic principles for reducing technical risk * Monte Carlo simulation algorithms for improving reliability and reducing risk * Methods for setting reliability requirements based on the cost of failure * New reliability measures based on a minimal separation of random events on a time interval * Overstress reliability integral for determining the time to failure caused by overstress failure modes * A powerful equation for determining the probability of failure controlled by defects in loaded componentswith complex shape * Comparative methods for improving reliability which do not require reliability data * Optimal allocation of limited resources to achieve a maximum risk reduction * Improving system reliability based solely on a permutation of interchangeable components.
Physical Description:1 online resource (xxii, 419 pages .).
