Reliability Engineering Handbook (Volume 2)

This book provides the theoretical and practical tools whereby the probability and capability of parts, components, equipment, products and systems to perform their required functions for desired periods of time without failure, in specified environments, and with desired confidence, can be specified, predicted, designed-in, tested, demonstrated, packaged, transported, stored, installed, started up, and their performance monitored and fed back to all concerned organizations.

This comprehensive two volume series provides a wealth of information, procedures, tests, and illustrations helping engineers analyze time-to-failure data to ensure greater reliability in the products they design. Volume II includes up-to-date information on Accept-Reject tests, the Sequential Probability Ratio Test, Bayesian MTBF and Reliability Demonstration Tests, as well as some very important accelerated tests including Arrhenius, Eyriing, Bazovsky, Inverse Power Law, and many others. Offers sections on reliability growth monitoring techniques and proper testing methods for establishing MTBF or reliability with the desired accuracy and confidence level. A vital reference for reliability, product assurance, and test engineers.
