“DIe sehr leiche Lekture verhilft dementsprechend schnell einen Einstieg in einige Grundfragestellungen der Zuverlassigkeitshorie”, Professor Dr, Rainer Schlittgen, Institut fur Statistik und Okonometrie University of Hamburg” writing in Allgemeines Statisisches Archiv 81 Band 1⁄1997 Jan/Marz or “The very easy reading helps accordingly fast an entrance in the main problems of the reliability theory”... it deserves to become a classic on the subject, not least because it combines accessibility with relevance, and range with rigour...a really helpful and useful book that is well provided with worked examples as well as graded exercises which enable the reader to consolidate an understanding of the text and verify his or her ability to apply the methods correctly.'IMechE Vol 210, 1996This book contains a nice collection of practical problems, their solutions, and the theory behind them ……….. The book contains a large number of exercises with detailed solutions given in an appendix. These may be found to be very useful for any engineer who studies the ideas of reliability analysis from this book’Zbl. Math. 867
