||
Books |
||
| Reliability: Probabilistic Models and Statistical Methods | ||
This book is geared more toward manufacturing reliability analysis, but nonetheless contains a very well-written introduction to many parts of basic system reliability. In particular, Chapter 2 accompanies the coherent systems lecture. |
||
| Book review | ||
| System Reliability Theory: Models, Statistical Methods and Applications | ||
The text here is a bit more advanced in its treatment of coherent systems, but also has a larger breadth. Some topics covered here are not in the Leemis book above, and may be other further interest to networking engineers, particularly fault-tree analysis. Rachel recommends to read chapter 3 and 4 after watching the Coherent Systems Analysis section, adding that the material goes further than Rachel did. Chapter 5 of this text discusses component importance in great detail, but is a bit math-heavy. |
||
| Burn-In: An Engineering Approach to the Design and Analysis of Burn-In Procedures | ||
This book is recommended for those interested in some manufacturing tests and concepts. |
