Features: This book conducts a systematic study on the methods for determining confidence limits of component and system reliability. It is the result of the author's many years of research in system reliability assessment methods. The book is divided into 6 chapters: Chapter 1 briefly summarizes the main existing works in system reliability assessment, while the other 5 chapters primarily focus on different types of test data based on success/failure-type components, life-type components, normal-type components, and log-normal-type components or systems. These chapters explore classical exact and approximate methods for determining confidence limits of component reliability under a given confidence level, as well as those for series systems, parallel systems, series-parallel systems, parallel-series systems, stand-by systems, component and system storage reliability, and component and system reliability under no-failure test data conditions. This book is suitable for reliability researchers and relevant engineering technicians, and also serves as a valuable reference for teachers, graduate students, and undergraduate students in related fields at universities.
