Reliability and Life Testing Handbook

Booknews

Reliability and life testing provide the theoretical and practical tools for ascertaining whether the probability and capability of parts, components, products, and systems to perform their required functions for desired periods without failure have indeed been designed and manufactured in them. This volume is the first of a two- volume set intended to be used as a second text in the reliability engineering instructional curriculum by advanced-undergraduate and graduate students, and as a handbook by practicing reliability, product assurance, and test engineers. Some knowledge of probability and statistics would be helpful but is not absolutely necessary. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
