Submit a ProposalProbabilistic Physics of Failure Approach to Reliability
 | Modeling, Accelerated Testing, Prognosis and Reliability Assessment By Mohammad Modarres, Mehdi Amiri and Christopher Jackson Series: Performability Engineering Series Copyright: 2017 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781119388630 | Hardcover | 283 pages Price: $195.00 USD  |
One Line Description
This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the salient features of the role probability and statistics play in predicting the uncertainty in the estimates of life and reliability.
Audience
The book is essential to researchers and engineers in reliability engineering, mechanical engineering, probabilistic risk assessment, materials degradation and failure, applied probability and statistics, fracture mechanics, prognosis and health management and applied physics.

Description
Engineers are often involved with product development that are constantly challenged to reduce time-to-market, minimize warranty costs, and increase quality. The physics-of-failure approach and modeling through the use of probabilistic physics of failure (PPoF) is the modern approach to help engineers toward this end.
The book presents highly technical approaches to the probabilistic physics of failure analysis and applications to accelerated life and degradation testing to reliability prediction and assessment. Besides reviewing a select set of important failure mechanisms, the book covers basic and advanced methods of performing accelerated life test (ALT) and accelerated degradation tests, as well as analyzing the test data such as accelerated degradation testing, Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS).
The book includes a large number of very useful examples to help readers understand the complicated methods described. Finally, MATLAB, R and OpenBUGS computer scripts are provided and discussed to support complex computational probabilistic analyses introduced.
