Reliability theory has nequired a special significance during the last few decades. It is mainly because of rapid advancement in technology which has given rise to complex and sophisticated systems. These systema suf- fer from derign flawe and wenknesses and their failures not only result in monetary lom but also pose a serious threat to human life and national se curity. Hence product reliability and safety is of paramount importance to us. Since system effectiveness can be optimised during design and develop- ment phases, it therefore calls for a detailed reliability engineering program during initial stanges. Often we find that …
