Synopsis

Containing true-life examples from the author's professional career experiences, this practical book offers useful analytical and troubleshooting tools for engineers as well as case studies that demonstrate critical thinking in solving reliability-type problems, both during early design stages and during production. KEY TOPICS Chapter topics cover important reliability terms and models, confidence limits and their use in reliability, reliability program tasks, the benefits of reliability testing on product design, mechanical design impact on electronic component reliability, thermal factors and reliability, the impact of water on product reliability, failure analysis and troubleshooting methods, the design concepts impact on reliability performance, F Test and CHI-Squared models for hypothesis testing, software reliability issues, maintainability concepts, reliability evaluations and prototypes, and reliability management. For engineers?reliability, product support, project, maintainability, quality, test support, and mechanical?to use as a guide when developing a new design or troubleshooting an existing one.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Authored by a practicing reliability engineer with over 25 years of experience, this book provides useful insights and a practical analysis that can be used to deal with reliability problems in designs. Practical Reliability Analysis makes use of both case studies and illustrative examples to teach readers through the use of practical applications.

Features include:

• Case studies—provide practical applications of problem-solving techniques
• Mathematical analysis—demonstrates useful applications of statistical analysis in reliability problems
• Pictorial description of mechanical reliability—demonstrates common mechanical failures of electrical components
• Confidence limits—uses graphical examples to make this difficult subject clear

About the Author

Ken Neubeck has accrued over two decades of reliability engineering experience in the aerospace and commercial fields. After obtaining his B.S. and M.S. degrees in applied math from SUNY at Stony Brook, he started employment with the Fairchild Republic Company and worked on the A-10 Close Air Support Aircraft program as a reliability engineer for over twelve years. After the company closed in 1987, he continued as a reliability engineer for electronics companies and other commercial businesses. Ken has written books on the A-10 and F-105 aircraft as well as on amateur radio topics where he holds the call sign WB2AMU. He continues to conduct extensive research in the area of radio propagation.
