Focusing on aspects of reliability engineering unique to mechanical engineering, this thoroughly revised Second Edition provides a practical approach to the subject. The treatment of random failures has been extended to include loading roughness, leading to an appraisal of 'intrinsic reliability' and similar concepts. Coverage of wear-out failures--which constitute the vast majority of mechanical failures--has been greatly expanded, including a detailed study of fatigue. Updated material on development, including reliability growth evaluation techniques, and expanded discussions on maintenance, estimating factors of safety and designing for fatigue, as well as more specific examples of FMEA and FTA techniques. The treatment is rounded off with a chapter on management. Presents a practical engineering approach, invoking mathematics only where necessary for clarity.
