Optimal Reliability Design - Fundamentals and Applications

Zusammenfassung This book! first published in 2000! is an introduction to systems reliability and reliability optimization. Techniques for maximizing system reliability are described. The authors present several case studies! showing how optimization techniques are applied in practice. They also pay particular attention to finding methods that give the optimal trade-off between reliability and cost. Inhaltsverzeichnis List of figures; List of tables; Preface; Acknowledgments; 1.
