It's hard to talk about a networking, telecom, or wireless box architecture today without mentioning reliability. With traditional telecommunication operators once again taking the point in the ...

Consider a complex subsystem such as a missile which undergoes testing in stages. That is, the subsystem is tested ni times with xi recorded successes at the i-th stage of testing. The reliability of ...

The best reliability estimate obtained from a finite sample of time intervals taken from an exponential distribution has previously been derived. Instead of solving an integral equation, this result ...

In classical hypothesis testing volumes of data is to be collected and then the conclusions are drawn, which may need more time. But, sequential analysis of statistical science could be adopted in ...

In today’s world, so-called “high-performance, sustainable” facilities are a dime a dozen. But many of these buildings rely on overly complex mechanical systems to carry out their mission. While these ...

The study of lifetime distribution and reliability testing seeks to characterise the statistical behaviour of time-to-failure data for components and systems across a range of applications, from ...

One-shot devices, which are engineered for one-time use and are often subject to destructive testing, represent an important class of critical components in areas ranging from aerospace to biomedical ...
