The contents of this book are organized  as follows. Chapter 1 places reliability engineering in the scope of a  broader area, i.e. system failure engineering. Readers will find that  although this book is confined to hardware and software reliability,  it may be useful for other aspects of system failure engineering, like  maintenance and quality control. Chapter 2 contains the elementary  knowledge of fuzzy sets and possibility spaces which are required  reading for the rest of this book. This chapter is included for the  overall completeness of the book, but a few points (e.g. definition of  conditional possibility and existence theorem of possibility space)  may be new. Chapter 3 discusses how to calculate \u003cem\u003eprobist\u003c\/em\u003e system  reliability when the component reliabilities are represented by fuzzy  numbers, and how to analyze fault trees when probabilities of basic  events are fuzzy. Chapter 4 presents the basic theory of \u003cem\u003eprofust\u003c\/em\u003e  reliability, whereas Chapter 5 analyzes the \u003cem\u003eprofust\u003c\/em\u003e reliability  behavior of a number of engineering systems. Chapters 6 and 7 are  devoted to \u003cem\u003eprobist\u003c\/em\u003e reliability theory from two different  perspectives. Chapter 8 discusses how to model software reliability  behavior by using fuzzy methodology. Chapter 9 includes a number of  mathematical problems which are raised by applications of fuzzy  methodology in hardware and software reliability, but may be important  for fuzzy set and possibility theories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792397373\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-1403-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 311.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578397843596,"sku":"9780792397373","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792397373.jpg?v=1767145832","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792397373","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
