{"product_id":"reliability-theory-ilya-gertsbakh-9783540672753","title":"Reliability Theory: With Applications to Preventive Maintenance","description":"The material in this book was first presented as a one-semester course in Relia- bility Theory and Preventive Maintenance for M.Sc. students of the Industrial Engineering Department of Ben Gurion University in the 1997\/98 and 1998\/99 academic years. Engineering students are mainly interested in the applied part of this theory. The value of preventive maintenance theory lies in the possibility of its imple- mentation, which crucially depends on how we handle statistical reliability data. The very nature of the object of reliability theory - system lifetime - makes it extremely difficult to collect large amounts of data. The data available are usu- ally incomplete, e.g. heavily censored. Thus, the desire to make the course material more applicable led me to include in the course topics such as mod- eling system lifetime distributions (Chaps. 1,2) and the maximum likelihood techniques for lifetime data processing (Chap. 3). A course in the theory of statistics is aprerequisite for these lectures. Stan- dard courses usually pay very little attention to the techniques needed for our purpose. A short summary of them is given in Chap. 3, including widely used probability plotting. Chapter 4 describes the most useful and popular models of preventive main- tenance and replacement. Some practical aspects of applying these models are addressed, such as treating uncertainty in the data, the role of data contamina- tion and the opportunistic scheduling of maintenance activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ilya Gertsbakh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3540672753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783540672753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Ilya Gertsbakh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424573571327,"sku":"9783540672753","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2ba2cab-9dd9-45e0-badf-c0a38a44baea.jpg?v=1761531129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reliability-theory-ilya-gertsbakh-9783540672753","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
