Practical Electronic Reliability Engineering: Getting the Job Done from Requirement through Acceptance

While most books on reliability are written by and for mathematicians and statisticians, this guide is designed specifically for engineers. It provides an even balance of reliability and maintainability engineering and design guidelines, breaking down difficult mathematics into ready-to-use reliability tools. Comprehensive chapters address MIL reliability standards developed by the author at the Rome Air Development Center (RADC), which is famed for the reliability and maintainability procedures formulated there. Also covered are design considerations and reliability demonstration, topics not covered elsewhere in the literature. Sections on customer and developer input to system development help engineers determine how much reliability is necessary for different applications.
