HANDBOOK FOR THE PREDICTION OF SHIPBOARD AND SHORE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY,

Abstract

A handbook is presented which provides methods for predicting the reliability of electronic equipment. Several methods are demonstrated, each to be used for a specific phase in the evolution of a design from initial rough concept to final detailed design disclosure. All methods presented are based on the same mathematical concept, differing only in the degree of detail required in the prediction. Such an approach permits a rough reliability estimate based on the class of equipment, or a slightly better estimate based on the actual number of parts of all categories included in the design, or a best estimate based on the number of parts and their severity of application. A rough estimate may be mad in a few minutes, but the best estimate may require weeks of analysis. In addition to the prediction procedures, failure rate data are provided for classes of equipments, classes of parts, and individual parts such as electron tubes. (Author)
