Publisher's Synopsis
System Reliability Engineering by Gerald H. Sandler is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of ensuring the reliability of complex systems. The book covers the entire lifecycle of a system, from design and development to operation and maintenance, and provides a detailed analysis of the factors that contribute to system failures. The book begins by introducing the fundamentals of reliability engineering, including the concepts of failure modes and effects analysis, fault tree analysis, and reliability block diagrams. The author then explores the various techniques and tools that can be used to improve system reliability, such as redundancy, fault tolerance, and maintainability. Throughout the book, Sandler emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to system reliability, which involves not only technical considerations but also organizational and human factors. He provides practical guidance on how to integrate reliability engineering into the overall system engineering process, and how to establish effective reliability programs and metrics.The book also includes a range of case studies and real-world examples, illustrating the application of reliability engineering principles in various industries and contexts. These examples cover a wide range of systems, from aerospace and defense to healthcare and transportation.Overall, System Reliability Engineering is a valuable resource for engineers, managers, and other professionals involved in the design, development, and operation of complex systems. It provides a comprehensive overview of the key principles and practices of reliability engineering, and offers practical guidance on how to apply these principles in real-world situations.Prentice-Hall International Series In Space Technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
