Wiley Optimal System Reliability Design: New Advances in Redundancy Allocation (Quality and Reliability Engineering Series)

A comprehensive, state-of-the-art resource for redundancy allocation methodologies Systems are reliable to the degree that they can consistently perform their desired functions without unacceptable rates of failure and breakdown. System reliability design is therefore a key component of all engineering systems, and optimal systems reliability design problems are a heavily researched component of reliability engineering. As autonomous systems and the Internet of Things revolutionize numerous technological spaces, it becomes all the more important that engineers and technology designers have access to the latest system reliability design tools. Optimal System Reliability Design meets this need with a thorough, accessible overview of these problems, particularly those related to redundancy allocation. Its attention to practical applications throughout facilitates deeper understanding of this vital research area. Far more up to date than the previously leading texts on this subject, it promises to equip engineers and researchers with the state-of-the-art knowledge required to meet system reliability problems head-on. Optimal System Reliability Design readers will also find: Structure that journeys progressively from preliminary concepts to advanced techniques Detailed coverage of problems related to redundancy allocation under uncertainty, reliability-redundancy allocation, maintenance optimization, and more Examples, framework diagrams, and algorithms to demonstrate complex methods Optimal System Reliability Design is ideal for researchers and engineers with a background in calculus, probability, integer programming and stochastic programming problems.
