This book provides a comprehensive up-to-date presentation of some
of the classical areas of reliability, based on a more advanced
probabilistic framework using the modern theory of stochastic
processes. This framework allows analysts to formulate general
failure models, establish formulae for computing various
performance measures, as well as determine how to identify optimal
replacement policies in complex situations. In this second edition
of the book, two major topics have been added to the original
version: copula models which are used to study the effect of
structural dependencies on the system reliability; and maintenance
optimization which highlights delay time models under safety
constraints. Terje Aven is Professor of Reliability and Risk
Analysis at University of Stavanger, Norway. Uwe Jensen is working
as a Professor at the Institute of Applied Mathematics and
Statistics of the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany.
Review of first edition: "This is an excellent book on
mathematical, statistical and stochastic models in reliability. The
authors have done an excellent job of unifying some of the
stochastic models in reliability. The book is a good reference book
but may not be suitable as a textbook for students in professional
fields such as engineering. This book may be used for graduate
level seminar courses for students who have had at least the first
course in stochastic processes and some knowledge of reliability
mathematics. It should be a good reference book for researchers in
reliability mathematics." --Mathematical Reviews (2000)
