Industry recognizes the importance of system and product reliability and places ever increasing emphasis on it during the design phase. Therefore, it is extremely important for designers and engineers to have a solid grounding in reliability engineering and keep abreast of developments and research results. Design Reliability: Fundamentals and Appl

This book covers the topics of maintainability, maintenance, and reliability for the first time within a single source. It discusses mechanical and human reliability as well as reliability evaluation methods. It addresses various aspects of maintainability, including tools, specific maintainability design considerations, management, and costing, and explores human factors in maintainability, maintenance engineering objectives, corrective and preventive maintenance, and reliability centered maintenance. The author offers historical aspects, terms, definitions, and useful mathematical concepts while providing examples, solutions, and problems at the end of each chapter.

Engineering Maintenance: A Modern Approach presents a cradle-to-grave strategy to preserve equipment function, avoid the consequences of failures, and ensure the productive capacity of equipment. The author has gathered and integrated the latest advances in engineering maintenance to formulate practical, step-by-step plans.

Each year a vast sum of money is spent on health care around the globe and patient safety has become a serious global public health issue. Filled with up-to-date information, this book demonstrates how to handle patient safety-related problems by using methods developed in the area of engineering. It contains a chapter on mathematical concepts and another chapter on introductory material on safety and human factors considered essential to understand materials presented in subsequent chapters. The author¿s presentation covers topics in such a manner that readers will require no previous knowledge to understand the concepts.

Discusses the need for reliability, quality and safety as well as historical information, terms, and definitions. This book discusses relevant mathematics, evaluation models and methods, testing, management, and costing.

Robots are increasingly being used in industry to perform various types of tasks. for example, in 1984, a report published by the British Robot Association indicated a robot popula tion distribution between Japan (64,600), Western Europe (20,500), and the United States (13,000).

Industry recognizes the importance of system and product reliability and places emphasis on it during the design phase. This book provides the background professionals need to incorporate reliability concepts, tools, and techniques into their system planning and designs.
