[PDF] Reliability Engineering Handbook – volume 1 Dimitri Kececioglu

This volume, one of two devoted to the subject, covers the range of reliability engineering, from product and system design through manufacturing, implementation and maintenance. Illustrated with practical examples, the books show how to specify components, equipment and system reliability – and how to implement these requirements. Comprehensive and easy to understand, these books demonstrate how to analyze time-to-failure data from components, systems and equipment to obtain their distribution, reliability, failure rate and mean lifespan; provide theoretical and practical tools for designing, testing and implementing the probability and capacity of parts, components, equipment, products and systems performance; and include applications to purchasing, engineering, research, development, manufacturing and quality control.
