Using an interdisciplinary perspective, this outstanding text provides an introduction to the theory and practice
of reliability engineering. This revised edition contains a number of improvements: new material on quality - related
methodologies, inclusion of spreadsheet solutions for certain examples, a more detailed treatment which ties the
load - capacity approach to reliability to failure rate methodology; and a new section dealing with safety hazards
of products and equipment. Includes over 100 solved examples and well over 200 exercises which are drawn from a
variety of engineering fields.
