The book presents highly technical approaches to the probabilistic
physics of failure analysis and applications to accelerated life and
degradation testing to reliability prediction and assessment. Beside
reviewing a select set of important failure mechanisms, the book covers
basic and advanced methods of performing accelerated life test and
accelerated degradation tests and analyzing the test data. The book
includes a large number of very useful examples to help readers
understand complicated methods described. Finally, MATLAB, R and
OpenBUGS computer scripts are provided and discussed to support complex
computational probabilistic analyses introduced.
