Reliability : for technology, engineering, and management
A comprehensive book designed as an introduction to the field of reliability engineering, a textbook for a one-semester undergraduate course; a textbook for a one- or two-semester graduate course, a supplement for industrial seminars and workshops, and a reference book for reliability engineers. Separating the "hows" from the "whys," this book has been structured to be understood by readers with limited technical training while serving the purposes of readers requiring an analytical framework. This book includes the Kales Tables for Solutions of System Availability and MTBF. These tables make it possible to determine the reliability of complex systems without the need for complex mathematics. It also suggests opportunities for using reliability engineering practices for nonengineering applications and for service as well as manufacturing industries
