Failure mechanisms by which the causes of failures are brought about arephysicalprocesses.Thetypesoffailurecauses,howtoproceedtofailureby which causes, and the consequences of failures have been physically studied.

My purpose in writing this book is to build a bridge between theory and practice and to introduce the reliability engineer to some damage models.

Testo aggiuntivo

From the reviews:

"The book describes various models of shock and damage in reliability theory, and derives the optimal policies for such models. … covers a large number of shock and damage models, and opens new areas of research. It can be found to be useful to graduate students and researchers in reliability theory." (Moshe Shaked, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1144, 2008)
