Description

An Elementary Guide to Reliability is now in its 4th Edition and incorporates two new chapters: one on "mechanical reliability" and a second covering "some useful reliability definitions". There are also new sections on "the language of reliability statisticians" and "stages in equipment design and production". This book explains in simple non-technical language what is meant by reliability and the various factors which make systems equipment and machines reliable, e.g. the cost, operation, maintenance and reporting of failures associated with an installation. The book will be useful to both lecturers and students.
