Engineering Design Handbook. Development Guide for Reliability. Part Four. Reliability Measurement

Abstract

Reliability measurement techniques provide a common discipline that can be used to make system reliability projections throughout the life cycle of a system. The data on component and equipment failures obtained during the reliability measurement program can be used to compute component failure distributions and equipment reliability characteristics. Reliability measurement techniques are used during the research and development phase to measure the reliability of components and equipments and to evaluate the relationships between applied stresses and environments and reliability. Later in a system life cycle, reliability measurement and testing procedures can be used to demonstrate that contractually required reliability levels have been met.
