In response to new developments in the field, practical teaching experience, and readers' suggestions, the authors of the warmly received Reliablity Evaluation of Engineering Systems have updated and extended the work-providing extended coverage of fault trees and a more complete examination of probability distribution, among other things-without disturbing the original's concept, structure, or style.

Introduction. Basic Probability Theory. Application of the Binomial Distribution. Network Modelling and Evaluation of Simple Systems. Network Modelling and Evaluation of Complex Systems. Probability Distributions in Reliability Evaluation. System Reliability Evaluation Using Probability Distributions. Monte Carlo Simulation. Epilogue.
