The New Weibull Handbook - Softcover

RMSS (reliability-maintainability-safety-supportability) engineering is emerging as the newest discipline in product development due to credible, accurate, quantitative failure-prediction methods. Weibull analysis is one of these tools. Weibull's capabilities as presented in this book include: analyzing design, development, production and service failures; predicting the number of failures in the next month or year; evaluating calibration and maintainability plans; analyzing inspection data; and reducing text substantiation. These advanced Weibull techniques yield useful results even with extremely small samples, or data that has deficiencies. Special methods developed for these data problems, such as Weibayes, are presented with actual case studies. This edition includes the author's latest research findings. With new additions to the software based on the book, it is now possible to determine which method is best and most accurate under a variety of conditions, such as sample size and the addition of error in the times-to-failure. Engineers responsible for reliability, safety, supportability, maintainability, materials, warranties, life cycle cost, design, structures, instrumentation and logistics should find this book useful.
