Model-Based Reliability Systems Engineering

This book introduces a new Model-Based Reliability System Engineering (MBRSE) methodology, including its concept connotation, basic theory and technologies, framework of integrated platform and engineering application cases. Different from traditional Reliability System Engineering (RSE) methods that mainly rely on the management of documents, MBRSE is model centric method, with which the design for hexability (including ＂reliability, maintainability, testability, supportability, environmental adaptability and safety＂) is performed by the revolution of united models in complete R&D fields and the process of closed- loop failure mitigation. This method can integrate all techniques and approaches of reliability engineering into the main process of R&D, and therefore is considered as a generalized hexability design and analysis tool. Furthermore, the future perspectives in the development of MBRSE are also presented through the combination of Digital Twin technology. The main objective of the book is to provide the readers who have engaged in theoretical and technical researches, project management and engineering design applications of reliability engineering, as well as for teachers, senior undergraduates and postgraduates in colleges and universities working on reliability engineering and system engineering.

Yi Ren received the Ph.D. degree in reliability engineering and systems engineering from Beihang University. He is currently a professor, a reliability specialist and a member on the faculty of system engineering at the School of Reliability and System Engineering at Beihang University in Beijing, China. He is currently the associate director of the Institute of reliability engineering at Beihang University. He has over 20 years of research and teaching experience in reliability engineering and system engineering. He is the Team Leader of the KW-GARMS(c) reliability engineering software platform, and a holder of six Chinese ministry-level professional awards and one Chinese nation-level professional award.
