Stochastic Models in Reliability Engineering

<p>This book is a collective work by many leading scientists analysts mathematicians and engineers who have been working at the front end of reliability science and engineering. The book covers conventional and contemporary topics in reliability science all of which have seen extended research activities in recent years.</p><p>The methods presented in this book are real-world examples that demonstrate improvements in essential reliability and availability for industrial equipment such as medical magnetic resonance imaging power systems traction drives for a search and rescue helicopter and air conditioning systems.</p><p>The book presents real case studies of redundant multi-state air conditioning systems for chemical laboratories and covers assessments of reliability and fault tolerance and availability calculations. Conventional and contemporary topics in reliability engineering are discussed including degradation networks dynamic reliability resilience and multi-state systems all of which are relatively new topics to the field.</p><p>The book is aimed at engineers and scientists as well as postgraduate students involved in reliability design analysis experiments and applied probability and statistics.</p>
