PracticalReliabilityEngineeringand Analysis forSystem Designand Life-CycleSustainmentWilliam WesselsUniversity of Alabama,Huntsville, USA

Designed for practicing engineers, this book address-es specific reliability and maintainability analysis meth-ods for part design, systems integration, and life-cyclesustainment.

Introduction toMechanicsMahendra K. VermaIndian Institute of Technology,Kanpur

“… undergraduates at all levels of study could ben-efit from leafing through its pages. Indeed I suspectmany graduate students and even professors couldgain fresh insight into concepts and problems. …Verma’s work covers a broad range of subject mat-ter, managing to go into quite some depth in someareas … That it manages to do this without seemingcrammed or cluttered says much about the excellentsetting out and organisation of the sections. …”
