Reliability prediction and testing textbook

This textbook reviews the methodologies of reliability prediction as currently used in industries such as electronics, automotive, aircraft, aerospace, off-highway, farm machinery, and others.

It then discusses why these are not successful; and, presents methods developed by the authors for obtaining accurate information for successful prediction.

The approach is founded on approaches that accurately duplicate the real world use of the product.

Their approach is based on two fundamental components needed for successful reliability prediction; first, the methodology necessary; and, second, use of accelerated reliability and durability testing as a source of the necessary data.

Applicable to all areas of engineering, this textbook details the newest techniques and tools to achieve successful reliabilityprediction and testing.

It demonstrates practical examples of the implementation of the approaches described.
