Maintaining reliability and providing reliability engineering are essential needs with modem electronic systems. Reliability engineering for electronic equipment requires a means for a quantitative baseline, or a reliability prediction analysis. The most recognized and used reliability prediction handbook is Md-HDBK-217. This standard... 

Final element assemblies are modeled like any combination of components using the system reliability engineering techniques. Failure mode classification is generally straightforward. The key variables to include in the evaluation of failure rates are ...
