Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental theories and methods of reliability in engineering applications. Its characteristics include a focus on concepts and fundamentals, reflecting mature new achievements, emphasizing both theory and engineering applications, and highlighting teaching methods. The book is divided into 10 chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the basic concepts, definitions, fundamental characteristics, and commonly used probability distributions of reliability. Chapters 3 and 4 introduce reliability calculation methods for non-repairable systems. Chapter 5 introduces the fault tree analysis method, the concept of importance, and their calculation methods. Chapter 6 briefly analyzes the reliability of systems composed of three-state units. Chapters 7 and 8 introduce typical reliability prediction and allocation methods, as well as the processing methods for reliability growth and accelerated life test data, with examples. Chapter 9 discusses the calculation methods for reliability indicators of repairable systems, focusing on the simple and practical series-parallel algorithm for availability. Chapter 10 introduces numerical analysis and calculation methods for the reliability of complex systems, illustrated with fault tree simulation examples. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for students in related fields, as well as for engineers and teachers.
