• Contents: Preface; 1. Risk-based reliability analysis - a powerful alternative to the traditional reliability analysis; 2. Basic reliability concepts and conventions used for determining the losses from failures; 3. Methods for analysis of complex reliability networks; 4. Probabilistic risk assessment and risk management; 5. Potential loss from failure for non-repairable components and systems with multiple failure modes; 6. Losses from failures for repairable systems with components logically arranged in series; 7. Reliability analysis of complex repairable systems based on constructing the distribution of the potential losses; 8. Reliability value analysis for complex systems; 9. Reliability allocation based on minimising the total cost; 10. Generic approaches to reducing the likelihood of critical failures; 11. Specific principles for reducing the likelihood of failures; 12. Reducing the risk of failure by reducing the negative impact from the variability of design parameters; 13. Generic solutions for reducing the likelihood of overstress and wearout failures; 14. Reducing the risk of failure by removing latent faults, and avoiding common cause failures; 15. Consequence analysis and generic principles for reducing the consequences from failures; 16.
