Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt Methoden der Datenanalytik zur Abbildung der Technischen Zuverlassigkeit und Risikoprognose unter Zuhilfenahme der Probabilistik, Statistik sowie der Modellbildung. Eingesetzt werden die Methoden der Technischen Zuverlassigkeit in den elementaren Phasen des Produktentstehungsprozesses (Konzept- und Serienentwicklung, Produktion) sowie wahrend des Feldeinsatzes technischer Produkte. Dieses Buch umfasst ausfuhrlich Grundlagen der Statistik, graphische Visualisierung und Berechnungsverfahren. Zahlreiche Fallbeispiele werden durchgerechnet und reprasentieren typische Aufgabenstellungen des Ingenieurs bei der Zuverlassigkeitsanalyse in Entwicklung/Produktion sowie der Beurteilung von Feldschaden. Die Zielgruppen sind somit gleichermassen Studenten der Ingenieurwissenschaften sowie Ingenieure, welche sich mit der Technischen Zuverlassigkeit im Rahmen der Entwicklung und Herstellung komplexer technischer Produkte sowie im Rahmen der Felddatenanalyse auseinandersetzen. Die Darlegung der Methoden und Verfahren der Technischen Zuverlassigkeit folgt dem Leitmotiv "Theoriegeleitet - Praxisorientiert", sodass das vorliegende Buch sowohl als Nachschlagewerk als auch als Lehrbuch Verwendung finden kann.

Reliability Engineering is intended for use as an introduction to reliability engineering, including the aspects analysis, design, testing, production and quality control of engineering components and systems. Numerous analytical and numerical examples and problems are used to illustrate the principles and concepts. Expanded explanations of the fundamental concepts are given throughout the book, with emphasis on the physical significance of the ideas. The mathematical background necessary in the area of probability and statistics is covered briefly to make the presentation complete and self-contained. Solving probability and reliability problems using MATLAB and Excel is also presented.

Dieses Buch hilft Ihnen, die Methodik FMEA sowie die angrenzenden Themen zu verstehen und anzuwenden. Es raumt mit dem Vorurteil auf, FMEA ware nur ein Qualitatstool, das von Qualitatsspezialisten durchgefuhrt wird. Vielmehr kann die FMEA in jeder Branche als Werkzeug benutzt werden, um Produkte, Projekte, Aufgaben und Dienstleistungen ausserst planbar, nachvollziehbar und zielorientiert umzusetzen. Das strukturierte Vorgehen unterstutzt Problemlosungen und schafft somit neue Denkansatze (praventive Qualitatssicherungsmethodik
und Risikoanalyse).
Bei richtiger Anwendung werden Sie Zeit, Geld und Kapazitat einsparen

A unique, design-based approach to reliability engineering

"Design for Reliability" provides engineers and managers with a range of tools and techniques for incorporating reliability into the design process for complex systems. It clearly explains how to design for zero failure of critical system functions, leading to enormous savings in product life-cycle costs and a dramatic improvement in the ability to compete in global markets.

Readers will find a wealth of design practices not covered in typical engineering books, allowing them to think outside the box when developing reliability requirements. They will learn to address high failure rates associated with systems that are not properly designed for reliability, avoiding expensive and time-consuming engineering changes, such as excessive testing, repairs, maintenance, inspection, and logistics.

Special features of this book include: A unified approach that integrates ideas from computer science and reliability engineeringTechniques applicable to reliability as well as safety, maintainability, system integration, and logistic engineeringChapters on design for extreme environments, developing reliable software, design for trustworthiness, and HALT influence on design

"Design for Reliability" is a must-have guide for engineers and managers in R&D, product development, reliability engineering, product safety, and quality assurance, as well as anyone who needs to deliver high product performance at a lower cost while minimizing system failure.

The book gives engineers the techniques and tools they need to use accelerated reliability testing (ART) and accelerated durability testing (ART) as key factors to accurately predict a product's quality, reliability, durability, and maintainability during given time (service life, warranty period, and other). The book covers a new ideas and unique approach to accurate simulation and integration of field inputs, safety, and human factors, as well as accelerated product development, as components of interdisciplinary systems engineering. Professionals will find in this book the answer how one can carry out ART and ADT technology in a practical manner. Learn how the implementation of ART and ADT can solve previously inaccessible problems in engineering, reduce product recalls, cost, and time during design, manufacture, and usage.

Responsible For Reliability? Look No Further! Finally, a working tool that delivers expert guidance on all aspects of product reliability. W. Grant Ireson and Clyde F Coombs, Jr.s new Second Edition of Handbook of Reliability Engineering and Management gives you the specific engineering, management, and mathematics data you need to design and manufacture more reliable electronic and mechanical devices as well as complete systems. Youll find proven industry practices for defining and achieving reliability goals--real how-to information, not theoretical generalities. You also get new methods for determining overall product reliability. . .the latest design techniques for extending a products life cycle. . .tested strategies for incorporating reliability into new product development. . .and more.

A discussion of the basic reliability concepts and models, Reliability Models for Engineers and Scientists demystifies modern mathematical reliability models. Requiring very little mathematical background on the reader's part, this concise book introduces the models by focusing on their physical meaning and the supporting data; it then goes on to provide a wide scope of possible applications. The book also introduces a new concept of the Gini-type index, which when applied to aging/rejuvenating components (nonrepairable systems) can measure how different a given aging/rejuvenation distribution is compared to the exponential distribution. A similar index is then applied to aging/rejuvenating repairable systems, creating a bridge between the concepts. The chapters discuss models used in reliability, risk analysis, physics of failure, fracture mechanics, biological, pharmaceutical, and medical studies. They comprise an up-to-date, concise, and informative resource on reliability models, which does not require any special mathematical background.

A new approach to safety, based on systems thinking, that is more effective, less costly, and easier to use than current techniques. Engineering has experienced a technological revolution, but the basic engineering techniques applied in safety and reliability engineering, created in a simpler, analog world, have changed very little over the years. In this groundbreaking book, Nancy Leveson proposes a new approach to safety-more suited to today's complex, sociotechnical, software-intensive world-based on modern systems thinking and systems theory. Revisiting and updating ideas pioneered by 1950s aerospace engineers in their System Safety concept, and testing her new model extensively on real-world examples, Leveson has created a new approach to safety that is more effective, less expensive, and easier to use than current techniques. Arguing that traditional models of causality are inadequate, Leveson presents a new, extended model of causation (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes, or STAMP), then shows how the new model can be used to create techniques for system safety engineering, including accident analysis, hazard analysis, system design, safety in operations, and management of safety-critical systems. She applies the new techniques to real-world events including the friendly-fire loss of a U.S. Blackhawk helicopter in the first Gulf War; the Vioxx recall; the U.S. Navy SUBSAFE program; and the bacterial contamination of a public water supply in a Canadian town. Leveson's approach is relevant even beyond safety engineering, offering techniques for "reengineering" any large sociotechnical system to improve safety and manage risk.
