Features: The book consists of 8 chapters. Chapter 4 introduces the basic concepts, definitions, indicators, and common life distributions of reliability engineering. Chapters 2 to 5 discuss the fundamental theories and calculation methods of system reliability. Chapters 6 and 7 cover some elementary Bayesian analysis methods, which are relatively independent. Chapter 8 introduces maintainability engineering. All data processing methods for experimental data include engineering examples and detailed step-by-step solutions. The book focuses on engineering applications while also incorporating theoretical analysis, such as the related systems in Chapter 2, Markov chains in Chapter 4, and Bayesian analysis in Chapters 6 and 7. All theoretical analyses are designed to be intuitive and easy to understand, accompanied by numerical examples. This book can serve as a textbook for training engineering design personnel from various disciplines, as well as a reference for reliability professionals, senior undergraduate and graduate students in engineering, and business management personnel engaged in research and production.
