Engineering Design Reliability Handbook

Researchers in industry and academia are making important advances on various fronts, including reliability-based design and modeling of uncertainty when data is limited. Still, industry continues to lose billions of dollars each year because of unexpected system failures. The Engineering Design Reliability Handbook is a valuable addition to the reliability literature. The book presents an industrial perspective of non-deterministic approaches and documented stories and quantifies the benefits of these approaches. It considers the issue of modeling uncertainty when data is scarce and provides a comparison of non-deterministic approaches, both numerically and experimentally, in design problems.
