Heterocyclic Supramolecules I

Defects generate a great economic problem for suppliers who are faced with increased duties. Customers expect increased efficiency and dependability of technical product of - also growing - complexity. The authors give an introduction to a theory of dependability for engineers. The book may serve as a reference book as well enhancing the knowledge of the specialists and giving a lot of theoretical background and practical information especially on the dependability analysis of whole systems. The theory concepts and approaches are well explained by examples and solutions. The topics include: Mathematical basis Life span distributions System dependability theory Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) Fault tree analysis Dependability test planning Test evaluation Calculation of repairable systems Dependability protection programs.
