Abstract
This book has been written primarily for the practising engineer, technical manager and engineering student who has little or no formal background in the area of statistics, probability theory and reliability evaluation techniques. It attempts to illustrate the theoretical concepts and practical formulae required to evaluate quantitatively the reliability of systems. It must be stressed that there is no single all-purpose technique that can be used to solve all reliability problems and great care must be given in selecting the most appropriate model and evaluation technique.
