Description
This watershed resource shows how to use various probabilistic methods and approaches in practical problems of engineering and applied science. These methods enable readers to understand the behavior and performance of engineering products in the conditions of variability and uncertainty, and to ensure the effectiveness and durability of these products. Intended for engineers and applied scientists of different specialities, backgrounds, qualifications, and levels of experience, this straightforward and easy-to-use guide offers practical insight into the role of the ``laws of chance'' and causes and effects of variability in numerous design problems encountered in mechanical, structural, materials, reliability, telecommunications, and other areas of engineering. The book contains dozens of practical examples that demonstrate the key role that probabilistic methods can play in the analysis and design of viable and reliable engineering components, products, and systems.
