This work provides a rigorous and applied synthesis of probabilistic methods used in engineering, with an emphasis on the analysis of the reliability of technical systems and the quality control of manufacturing processes. The integrated approach supports progressive learning and understanding of the relationship between the random behavior of systems and their performance over time.
Essential topics are addressed such as:
- probabilistic spaces, random variables and relevant distributions (exponential, Weibull, normal, binomial);
- reliability functions, densities, failure rates and system models (series, parallel, redundancy);
- risk analysis and product life expectancy estimation;
- Monte Carlo simulations and interpretation of experimental data;
- modern statistical methods of quality control, control charts and sampling plans.
The work is structured in such a way as to facilitate both individual study and applied teaching or research activity. The solved examples, case studies, self-assessment exercises and seminar sections contribute to the development of a clear perspective, applicable in industrial and academic environments alike.
This book reflects a solid teaching and professional experience and is specifically addressed to students, master's students, doctoral students and specialists in engineering and economic fields, concerned with quality, performance and sustainability.
