Initiallydeveloped to meet practical needs, reliability theory has become anapplied mathematical discipline that permits a priori evaluationsof various reliability indices at the design stages. Theseevaluations help engineers choose an optimal system structure,improve methods of maintenance, and estimate the reliability on thebasis of special testing. Probabilistic Reliability Engineeringfocuses on the creation of mathematical models for solving problemsof system design.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Broad and authoritative in its content, Probabilistic ReliabilityEngineering covers all mathematical models associated withprobabilistic methods of reliability analysis, including--unique tothis book--maintenance and cost analysis, as well as many newresults of probabilistic testing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To provide readers with all necessary background material, thistext incorporates a thorough review of the fundamentals ofprobability theory and the theory of stochastic processes. Itoffers clear and detailed treatment of reliability indices, thestructure function, load-strength reliability models, distributionswith monotone intensity functions, repairable systems, the Markovmodels, analysis of performance effectiveness, two-pole networks,optimal redundancy, optimal technical diagnosis, and heuristicmethods in reliability. Throughout the text, an abundance of realworld examples and case studies illustrate and illuminate thetheoretical points under consideration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For engineers in design, operations research, and maintenance, aswell as cost analysts and R\u0026amp;D managers, ProbabilisticReliability Engineering offers the most lucid, comprehensivetreatment of the subject available anywhere.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e About the editor\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e JAMES A.
