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."
