Contents:
Ch. 1. Introduction -- ch. 2. System structures -- ch. 3. Reliability of system structures -- ch. 4. Reliability over time -- ch. 5. Failure processes -- ch. 6. Age acceleration -- ch. 7. Nonparametric statistical methods -- ch. 8. Parametric statistical methods -- ch. 9. Repairable systems I : renewal and instantaneous repair -- ch. 10. Repairable systems II : nonrenewal and instantaneous repair -- ch. 11. Availability analysis -- ch. 12. Preventive maintenance -- ch. 13. Predictive maintenance -- ch. 14. Special topics -- Appendices.
Summary: The second edition of Reliability Engineering aims to provide an understanding of reliability principles and maintenance planning to help accomplish these goals. This edition expands the treatment of several topics while maintaining an integrated introductory resource for the study of reliability evaluation and maintenance planning. The focus across all of the topics treated is the use of analytical methods to support the design of dependable and efficient equipment and the planning for the servicing of that equipment. The argument is made that probability models provide an effective vehicle for portraying and evaluating the variability that is inherent in the performance and longevity of equipment.
