Abstract
Methods for stress analysis and for the analysis of deformations and displacements in mechanical systems are given by the theory of vibrations and by mechanics of deformable bodies. The final judgement regarding the suitability of a system under design or a system in use should be based on the theory of reliability. From the point of view of mechanics that part of reliability theory is of greatest interest in which failure is treated as the result of time changes in the system’s parameters (general, physical or parametric theory of reliability). To a great extent, this theory is based on the analysis of fluctuations of random processes and fields describing the system’s behaviour.
