This book presents state-of-the-art probabilistic methods for the
reliability analysis and design of engineering products and processes.
It seeks to facilitate practical application of probabilistic analysis
and design by providing an authoritative, in-depth, and practical
description of what probabilistic analysis and design is and how it can
be implemented. The text is packed with many practical engineering
examples (e.g., electric power transmission systems, aircraft power
generating systems, and mechanical transmission systems) and exercise
problems. It is an up-to-date, fully illustrated reference suitable for
both undergraduate and graduate engineering students, researchers, and
professional engineers who are interested in exploring the fundamentals,
implementation, and applications of probabilistic analysis and design
methods.
