Engineering Design Handbook - Development Guide for Reliability, Part Two - Design for Reliability

This 1976 handbook is one in a series on reliability and is intended for the working engineers who have the responsibility for creating and producing equipment and systems which can be relied upon by the users in the field. This handbook is directed toward reliability engineers who need to be familiar with the mathematical, probabilistic, and statistical techniques for predicting the reliability of various configurations of hardware. The material in standard textbooks is not repeated here; the important points are summarized, and references are given to the standard works.
