This book describes how reliability can be embedded into the product development using a design methodology that uses parametric accelerated lifecycle testing (ALT) . The book has these features:•           A new reliability methodology, based on inferential statistics, that can determine whether the reliability of a mechanical/civil system is achieved. •           A unique reliability methodology to prevent reliability disasters in new mechanical products in the field, e.g., automobiles and airplanes. •           Robust design methodology of mechanical/civil product to withstand a variety of loads. •           Explanation of an alternative experimental Taguchi methodology. •           Discussion of how parametric ALT can alsobe used to predict product reliability—lifetime and failure rate. •           Detailed case studies that demonstrate parametric ALT methodology. This book will be useful for senior-level undergraduate and graduate students, professional engineers, college and university-level lecturers, researchers, and design managers in mechanical and civil engineering.
