An Introduction to Reliability and Maintainability Engineering 3rd Edition

Many  books on reliability focus on either modeling or statistical analysis  and require an extensive background in probability and statistics.  Continuing its tradition of excellence as an introductory text for those  with limited formal education in the subject, this classroom-tested  book introduces the necessary concepts in probability and statistics  within the context of their application to reliability. The Third  Edition adds brief discussions of the Anderson–Darling test, the Cox  proportionate hazards model, the Accelerated Failure Time model, and  Monte Carlo simulation. Over 80 new end-of-chapter exercises have been  added, as well as solutions to all odd-numbered exercises. Moreover,  Excel workbooks, available for download, save students from performing  numerous tedious calculations and allow them to focus on reliability  concepts. Ebeling has created an exceptional text that enables readers  to learn how to analyze failure, repair data, and derive appropriate  models for reliability and maintainability as well as apply those models  to all levels of design.
