Product Reliability Maintainability Supportability Handbook Feature

This unique publication addresses the role of reliability, maintainability, and supportability in the life-cycle of a product, in the context of product effectiveness and worth. It emphasizes all aspects of producing an effective electrical or mechanical system. This is the only handbook available on this subject and the only book that is this comprehensive and informative.

The Product Reliability, Maintainability, and Supportability Handbook examines the logistics, cost, and the physics of failure-topics never before found in a single volume on reliability. It describes the factors that affect product effectiveness and worth: performance, reliability, design effectiveness and margin for error, availability, affordability, use effectiveness, and logistic effectiveness. The handbook contains 13 in-depth chapters, opening with an introduction on product effectiveness and worth and concluding with reliability and maintainability data that can be combined with performance data to assess overall effectiveness of the product. The pages are filled with valuable information that can be easily and quickly put to practical use.

Basic principles of the mathematical theory of probability and necessary background are provided. Concepts and basic theory of reliability in terms of probability and statistical inference are also given. Techniques for deriving probabilistic models from observational data as well as reliability models and associated validation techniques are detailed. Software and software reliability, quality, and safety are all covered, including the development life-cycle process and mechanisms by which software errors are introduced.

The book presents design guidelines and techniques and the requirements for materials, manufacturing, and assembly. Learn how to analyze the reliability of redundant and fault-tolerant products. Use the methods for modeling and analyzing failures of repairable products that normally exhibit wearout characteristics. The Product Reliability, Maintainability, and Supportability Handbook also provides reliability improvement techniques to improve the competitiveness of existing products.
The book includes helpful summaries and numerous problem sections to reinforce and test learned information. This reference source is the guide that professionals and technical managers should turn to when they need a comprehensive and detailed overview of everything that goes into producing systems and products that meet customer needs in an effective and timely manner.

Software Reliability Modelling and Identification (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) Feature

This volume contains five tutorial papers based on the lectures given at the intensive course on Software Reliability Modelling and Identification in Como (Italy) from September 2 to 4, 1987. The purpose of this volume is to present some important models used to forecast the reliability growth during the software testing process, and discuss the practical applicability of models in the management of software techniques for model identification from data (parameter estimation, complexity selection, validation, etc.). The basic reliability concepts are also introduced for those readers who are not familiar with the reliability ideas. Besides the basic models, a new family of models is introduced in the book. This family is flexible enough to describe a variety of different reliability trends. Particular attention is given to the problem of the provision of tools to assist the user in selecting an appropriate model in a particular situation.

Reliability and Maintenance of Complex Systems (NATO ASI Series / Computer and Systems Sciences) Feature

Complex high-technology devices are in growing use in industry, service sectors, and everyday life. Their reliability and maintenance is of utmost importance in view of their cost and critical functions. This book focuses on this theme and is intended to serve as a graduate-level textbook and reference book for scientists and academics in the field. The chapters are grouped into five complementary parts that cover the most important aspects of reliability and maintenance: stochastic models of reliability and maintenance, decision models involving optimal replacement and repair, stochastic methods in software engineering, computational methods and simulation, and maintenance management systems. This wide range of topics provides the reader with a complete picture in a self-contained volume.

Medical Device Reliability and Associated Areas Feature

Although Reliability Engineering can trace its roots back to World War II, its application to medical devices is relatively recent, and its treatment in the published literature has been quite limited. With the medical device industry among the fastest growing segments of the US economy, it is vital that the engineering, biomedical, manufacturing, and design communities have up-to-date information on current developments, tools, and techniques.

Medical Device Reliability and Associated Areas fills this need with broad yet detailed coverage of the field. It addresses a variety of topics related - directly and indirectly - to reliability, including human error in health care systems and software quality assurance. With emphasis on concepts rather than mathematical rigor, a multitude of examples, exercises, tables, and references, this is one resource that everyone connected to the medical device industry must have.
