Engineering Reliability

The purpose of this book is to develop the use of probability in engineering reliability and maintenance problems. We use probability models in 1) analysis of failure data, 2) decision relative to planned maintenance,
3) prediction relative to preliminary design. Engineering applications are emphasized and are used to motivate the methodology presented.
The background required is at least a first course in probability. Although the probability calculus will be reviewed, it would be best to have had previous exposure. Some previous knowledge of engineering or physics at the beginning level would also be helpful. The academic level required is upper division undergraduate or first year graduate, but no previous course in statistics or measure theory is needed. We will make extensive use of spreadsheets in the exercises. Spreadsheets such as EXCEL are now ubiquitous and contain most of the mathematical and statistical functions needed to solve many of the exercises in this book. They are also very useful for the graphical analysis of failure data contained in the book.
