Inhaltsangabe

This book provides the basic Reliability Physics and Engineering tools that are needed by Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Materials Scientists, and Applied Physicists to build better products. The material includes information for engineers to develop better methodologies for producing reliable product designs and materials selections to improve product reliability. Important statistical training and tools are contained within the text. The author emphasizes the physics of failure and the development of reliability engineering models for failure.

The beginning of the book concentrates on device/materials degradation and the development of the critically important time-to-failure models. Since time-to-failure is a statistical process, the needed statistical tools are presented next along with failure-rate modeling. Following that the use of accelerated testing and the modeling of the acceleration factors are presented. The next section focuses on the effective use of these acceleration factors, during initial product-level testing and operation, in order to reduce the expected device failure rate in the field. The important time-to-failure models are presented next for Electrical Engineering applications. Likewise, the next section addresses important time-to-failure models for Mechanical Engineering applications. The final chapters provide both Electrical and Mechanical Engineers with design help specifically, conversion of dynamic/transient stresses into equivalent static forms, establishing aggressive but safe design rules, and the need to look very closely at design and process interactions.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. J.W. McPherson is a Texas Instruments Senior Fellow Emeritus and an IEEE Fellow. He has published approximately 200 papers on Reliability Physics and Engineering, written Reliability Chapters in four books, holds 12 patents and was a past General Chair of the International Reliability Physics Symposium. McPherson's broad reliability experience, with both electrical and mechanical failure mechanisms, makes him ideally suited to author a general textbook on Reliability Physics and Engineering.
