Researchers from the entire world write to figure out their newest results and to contribute new ideas or ways in the field of system reliability and maintenance. Their articles are grouped into four sections: reliability, reliability of electronic devices, power system reliability and feasibility and maintenance. The book is a valuable tool for professors, students and professionals, with its presentation of issues that may be taken as examples applicable to practical situations. Some examples defining the contents can be highlighted: system reliability analysis based on goal-oriented methodology
reliability design of water-dispensing systems
reliability evaluation of drivetrains for off-highway machines
extending the useful life of asset
network reliability for faster feasibility decision
analysis of standard reliability parameters of technical systems' parts
cannibalisation for improving system reliability
