About this Item

Neu Neuware, auf Lager, , Sofortversand - With ever increasingly complex technical products not only is an improved performance expected, but also an improved reliability. This book serves both as an introduction to reliability in automotive and mechanical engineering as well as a reference for reliability experts. Most of the content is concerned with reliability analysis of components and of complete systems. The material draws on theory while proving to be very applicable in the practical field. The book s structure and representation allow for a direct interaction. The described theories, terms and procedures are clarified with the use of examples and exercises with solutions.Content in detail: mathematical fundamentals, lifetime distributions, system reliability theory, FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis, reliability test planning, trial evaluation, calculation of repairable systems, reliability assurance programs.

About this title

Synopsis

Defects generate a great economic problem for suppliers who are faced with increased duties. Customers expect increased efficiency and dependability of technical product of - also growing - complexity. The authors give an introduction to a theory of dependability for engineers. The book may serve as a reference book as well, enhancing the knowledge of the specialists and giving a lot of theoretical background and practical information, especially on the dependability analysis of whole systems.

The theory, concepts and approaches are well explained by examples and solutions. The topics include: Mathematical basis, Life span distributions, System dependability theory, Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), Fault tree analysis, Dependability test planning, Test evaluation, Calculation of repairable systems, Dependability protection programs.
