This 1976 handbook offers reliability measurement techniques that provide a common discipline to 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.
