First book on the subject, illustrative examples, some original
results, self-contained material, a reference book.
This book provides a fresh approach to reliability theory, an area
that has gained increasing relevance in fields from statistics and
engineering to demography and insurance. Its innovative use of
quantile functions gives an analysis of lifetime data that is
generally simpler, more robust, and more accurate than the
traditional methods, and opens the door for further research in a
wide variety of fields involving statistical analysis. In addition,
the book can be used to good effect in the classroom as a text for
advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Reliability and
Statistics.

This textbook covers the basic concepts and applications of finite
element analysis. It is specifically aimed at introducing this
advanced topic to undergraduate-level engineering students and
practicing engineers in a lucid manner. It also introduces a
structural and heat transfer analysis software FEASTSMTÂ which
has wide applications in civil, mechanical, nuclear and automobile
engineering domains. This software has been developed by the author
and his team at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre/Indian Space Research
Organisation. Supported with many illustrative examples, the
textbook covers the classical methods of estimating solutions of
mathematical models. The book is written in an easy-to-understand
manner. This textbook also contains numeral exercise problems to
aid self-learning of the students. The solutions to these problems
are demonstrated using finite element software. Furthermore, the
textbook contains several tutorials and associated online resources
on usage of the FEASTSMTÂ software. Given the contents, this
textbook is highly useful for the undergraduate students of various
disciplines of engineering. It is also a good reference book for
the practicing engineers.
Reliability Modelling and Analysis in Discrete Time provides an
overview of the probabilistic and statistical aspects connected
with discrete reliability systems. This engaging book discusses
their distributional properties and dependence structures before
exploring various orderings associated between different
reliability structures. Though clear explanations, multiple
examples, and exhaustive coverage of the basic and advanced topics
of research in this area, the work gives the reader a thorough
understanding of the theory and concepts associated with discrete
models and reliability structures. A comprehensive bibliography
assists readers who are interested in further research and
understanding. Requiring only an introductory understanding of
statistics, this book offers valuable insight and coverage for
students and researchers in Probability and Statistics, Electrical
Engineering, and Reliability/Quality Engineering. The book also
includes a comprehensive bibliography to assist readers seeking to
delve deeper.
