Todinov (Cranfield University, UK) describes new approaches for setting quantitative reliability requirements based on the cost of failure and specified minimum failure-free operating periods. After an introduction to reliability and risk analysis based on random variables, he examines a new method for problem solving in the context of real reliability engineering applications and case studies, and supplies algorithms which can be used for reliability analyses and for setting quantitative reliability requirements. The book is for engineers, researchers, consultants, and graduate students in reliability and risk assessment. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
