Probability Applications in Mechanical Design

Clarifies fatigue and design problems by applying probability and computer analysis, solving examples using commercially available software. Including over 800 equations, references, and drawings, this book outlines data reduction techniques for discrete and grouped data. It also explains Bayes theorem and decision trees.

The authors of this text seek to clarify mechanical fatigue and design problems by applying probability and computer analysis, and further extending the uses of probability to determine mechanical reliability and achieve optimization. The work solves examples using commercially available software. It is formatted with examples and problems for use in a one-semester graduate course.
