Optimal Reliability Design: Fundamentals and ApplicationsOptimal Reliability Design provides a detailed introduction to systems reliability and reliability optimization. State-of-the-art techniques for maximizing system reliability are described, focusing on component reliability enhancement and redundancy arrangement. The authors present several case studies and show how optimization techniques are applied in practice. They also pay particular attention to finding methods that give the optimal trade-off between reliability and cost. The book is suitable for use on graduate-level courses in reliability engineering and operations research. It will also be a valuable reference for practising engineers. |
