Reliability Evaluation of Engineering Systems (eBook, PDF)

Concepts and Techniques

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In response to new developments in the field, practical teaching experience, and readers' suggestions, the authors of the warmly received Reliablity Evaluation of Engineering Systems have updated and extended the work-providing extended coverage of fault trees and a more complete examination of probability distribution, among other things-without disturbing the original's concept, structure, or style.
