Overview
Presenting a radically new approach and technology for setting reliability requirements, this superb book also provides the first comprehensive overview of the M/F-FOP philosophy and its applications.
* Each chapter covers probabilistic models, statistical and numerical procedures, applications and/or case studies
* Comprehensively examines a new methodology for problem solving in the context of real reliability engineering problems
* All models have been implemented in C++
* The algorithms and programming code supplied can be used as a software toolbox for setting MFFOP
* Case studies are taken from the nuclear, automotive and offshore industry to provide 'real-world' applications.
Synopsis
Todinov (Cranfield University, UK) describes new approaches for setting quantitative reliability requirements based on the cost of failure and specified minimum failure-free operating periods. After an introduction to reliability and risk analysis based on random variables, he examines a new method for problem solving in the context of real reliability engineering applications and case studies, and supplies algorithms which can be used for reliability analyses and for setting quantitative reliability requirements. The book is for engineers, researchers, consultants, and graduate students in reliability and risk assessment. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
