Practical reliability engineering and analysis for system design and life-cycle sustainment

Practical reliability engineering and analysis for system design and life-cycle sustainment / William Wessels.

In today's sophisticated world, reliability stands as the ultimate arbiter of quality. An understanding of reliability and the ultimate compromise of failure is essential for determining the value of most modern products and absolutely critical to others, large or small. Whether lives are depen...
