The first edition of this book was co-published by Ane Books India, and CRC Press in 2008. This second edition is an enlarged version of the web course developed by the author at IIT Madras, and also a modified and augmented version of the earlier book. Major additions/modifications presented are in the treatment of errors in measurement, temperature measurement, measurement of thermo-physical properties, and data manipulation. Many new worked examples have been introduced in this new and updated second edition.

This book presents the state-of-the-art in quality and reliability engineering from a product life-cycle standpoint. Topics in reliability include reliability models, life data analysis and modeling, design for reliability as well as accelerated life testing and reliability growth analysis, while topics in quality include design for quality, acceptance sampling and supplier selection, statistical process control, production tests such as environmental stress screening and burn-in, warranty and maintenance. The book provides comprehensive insights into two closely related subjects, and...

Mit der Veranderung der klassischen Fabrik von einer Produktionsstatte zu einem modernen Dienstleistungszentrum ergeben sich neue Herausforderungen: Wirtschaftlichkeit der modernen Wertschopfung ist keine Eigenschaft der Produkte, sondern des Prozesses. Komplexe Prozesse benotigen eine ganzheitliche Unterstutzung durch moderne und flexible IT-Systeme.

Neben einer grundsatzlichen Einfuhrung in das Thema beschreibt das Buch die Struktur eines Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). Dem Leser wird ein umfassender Uberblick uber die Leistungsfahigkeit und die Anwendungsmoglichkeiten eines...

Focusing on shocks modelling, burn-in and heterogeneous populations, Stochastic Modelling for Reliability naturally combines these three topics in the unified stochastic framework and presents numerous practical examples that illustrate recent theoretical findings of the authors.

The populations of manufactured items in industry are usually heterogeneous. However, the conventional reliability analysis is performed under the implicit assumption of homogeneity, which can result in distortion of the corresponding reliability indices and various misconceptions....

In honor of the work of Professor Shunji Osaki, Stochastic Reliability and Maintenance Modeling provides a comprehensive study of the legacy of and ongoing research in stochastic reliability and maintenance modeling. Including associated application areas such as dependable computing, performance evaluation, software engineering, communication engineering, distinguished researchers review and build on the contributions over the last four decades by Professor Shunji Osaki.

Fundamental yet significant research results are presented and discussed clearly alongside new...

This book compiles and critically discusses modern engineering system degradation models and their impact on engineering decisions. In particular, the authors focus on modeling the uncertain nature of degradation considering both conceptual discussions and formal mathematical formulations. It also describes the basics concepts and the various modeling aspects of life-cycle analysis (LCA). It highlights the role of degradation in LCA and defines optimum design and operation parameters. Given the relationship between operational decisions and the performance of the system's condition over...

Fatigue strength under variable stress amplitude is a useful method in lightweight design. It allows for reliable designing and dimensioning of structural components under realistic environmental conditions. Special emphasis is put on fatigue stress. For designing and dimensioning, the expected stress (load) is compared with the capacity to withstand loads (fatigue strength). In this process, the safety necessary for each particular application must be ensured. A prerequisite for ensuring the required fatigue strength is a reliable load assumption.

The authors describe the...

"Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt diese Erkenntnis Ludwig Wittgensteins begrundet besonders hinsichtlich der Zunahme von interdisziplinaren Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekten und den damit sprachlich zu uberwindenden Disziplingrenzen, die Notwendigkeit forcierter Terminologiearbeit.

Exemplarisch wird fur den Anwendungskontext der Verlasslichkeit technischer Systeme ein mehrdimensionales Terminologiegebaude durch verschrankte Kombination von Prazisierungsmethoden aufgebaut: Begriffe werden durch Ausdifferenzierung ihrer Binnenstruktur intensional...
