Introduction To Mechanical Reliability A Designer's Approach

This book is concerned with the problems, concepts, and methods of both component and system reliability of mechanical engineering systems, emphasizing reliability at different stages of the design process. Topics include integration of reliability into the design, and effect of the testing on product reliability. Examples, found throughout the book, are all from machine design and discuss those associated with material properties, manufacturing tolerances, misalignments, etc. Each chapter concludes with exercise problems.
