Preface
The theory, methods, and applications of reliability analysis have been developed
significantly over the last 60 years and have been recognized in many publications.
Therefore, awareness about the importance of each reliability measure of the system
and its fields is very important to a reliability specialist.
This book Reliability Engineering: Methods and Applications is a collection of
different models, methods, and unique approaches to deal with the different techno-
logical aspects of reliability engineering. A deep study of the earlier approaches and
models has been done to bring out better and advanced system reliability techniques
for different phases of the working of the components. Scope for future develop-
ments and research has been suggested.
The main areas studied follow under different chapters:
Chapter 1 provides the review and analysis of preventive maintenance modeling
issues. The discussed preventive maintenance models are classified into two main
groups for one-unit and multi-unit systems.
Chapter 2 provides the literature review on the most commonly used optimal
inspection maintenance mode using appropriate inspection strategy analyzing the
complexity of the system whether single or multi-stage system etc. depending on the
requirements of quality, production, minimum costs, and reducing the frequency of
failures.
Chapter 3 presents the application of stochastic processes in degradation modeling
to assess product/system performances. Among the continuous stochastic processes,
the Wiener, Gamma, and inverse Gaussian processes are discussed and applied for
degradation modeling of engineering systems using accelerated degradation data.
Chapter 4 presents a novel approach for analysis of Failure Modes and Effect
Analysis (FMEA)-related documents through a semi-automatic procedure involving
semantic tools. The aim of this work is reducing the time of analysis and improving
the level of detail of the analysis through the introduction of an increased number of
considered features and relations among them.
Chapter 5 studies the reliability and availability modeling of a system through
Markov chains and stochastic Petri nets.
Chapter 6 talks about the fault tree analysis technique for the calculation of
reliability and risk measurement in the transportation of radioactive materials.
This study aims at reducing the risk of environmental contamination caused due to
human errors.
Chapter 7 surveys the failure rate functions of replacement times, random, and
periodic replacement models and their properties for an understanding of the com-
plex maintenance models theoretically.
Chapter 8 highlights the design of accelerated life tests with competing failure
modes which give rise to competing risk analysis. This design helps in the prediction
of the product reliability accurately, quickly, and economically.

Chapter 9 presents an analysis, classification, and orientation of content to encour-
age researchers, organizations, and professionals to use IEC standards as applicable
procedures and/or as reference guides. These standards provide methods and math-
ematical metrics known worldwide.
Chapter 10 discusses the time-variant reliability analysis methods for real-life
dynamic structures under uncertainties and vibratory systems having high nonlinear
performance. These methods satisfy the accuracy requirements by considering the
time correlation.
Chapter 11 presents a few reliability or survival analysis models involving latent
variables. The latent variable model considers missing information, heterogeneity of
observations, measurement of errors, etc.
Chapter 12 highlights the failure mode and effects analysis technique that esti-
mates the system reliability when the components are dependent on each other and
there is common cause failure as in redundant systems using the logical algorithm.
Chapter 13 provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art reliability assess-
ment approaches, including testing and probabilistic data analysis approaches, for
vehicle components and systems, vehicle exhaust components, and systems. The new
concepts include a fatigue S-N curve transformation technique and a variable trans-
formation technique in a damage-cycle diagram.
Chapter 14 is an attempt to develop a semi-Markov model of a ship’s electric
power generation system and use multi-state systems theory to develop an alterna-
tive aspect of maintenance policy, indicating the importance of the human capital
management relating to its cost management optimization.
Chapter 15 discusses the quantitative models proposed in the software security
literature called vulnerability discovery model for predicting the total number of
vulnerabilities detected, identified, or discovered during the operational phase of
the software. This work also described the modeling framework of the vulnerability
discovery models and vulnerability patching models.
Chapter 16 discusses the signature and its factor such as mean time to failure,
expected cost, and Barlow-Proschan index with the help of the reliability function
and the universal generating function also using Owen’s method for a coherent sys-
tem, which has independent identically, distributed elements.
Throughout this book, engineers and academician gain great knowledge and help
in understanding reliability engineering and its overviews. This book gives a broad
overview on the past, current, and future trends of reliability methods and applica-
tions for the readers.
