Probability, Reliability, and Statistical Methods in Engineering Design

Learn the tools to assess product reliability! Haldar and Mahadevan crystallize the research and experience of the last few decades into the most up--to--date book on risk--based design concepts in engineering available. The fundamentals of reliability and statistics necessary for risk--based engineering analysis and design are clearly presented. And with the help of many practical examples integrated throughout the text, the material is made very relevant to todaya s practice. Key Features aeo Covers all the fundamental concepts and mathematical skills needed to conduct reliability assessments. aeo Presents the most widely--used reliability assessment methods. aeo Concepts that are required for the implementation of risk--based design in practical problems are developed gradually. aeo Both risk--based and deterministic design concepts are included to show the transition from traditional to modern design practice.
