Mechanical Reliability Improvement

Providing probability and statistical concepts developed using pseudorandom numbers, this book covers enumeration-, simulation-, and randomization-based statistical analyses for comparison of the test performance of alternative designs, as well as simulation- and randomization-based tests for examination of the credibility of statistical presumptions. The book discusses centroid and moment of inertia analogies for mean and variance and the organization structure of completely randomized, randomized complete block, and split spot experiment test programs. Purchase of the text provides access to 200 microcomputer programs illustrating a wide range of reliability and statistical analyses.
