With applications in virtually every quantitative field, the statistical design of experiments is a useful skill. Practitioners wanting to expand their repertoire will find this book a helpful guide, while examples from many fields give the book broad appeal.

This examination of the history of major technologies in OR/MS, which have technically enabled and transformed us as a society, contains contributions from leading academics and practitioners that take a long-term perspective on developments in the field.

Here you will find a unified methodology to derive models for fatigue life prediction. This includes S-N, e-N and crack propagation models. The book covers all three main fatigue approaches (stress, strain and fracture mechanics) in a novel and integrated way.

The book gives engineers the techniques and tools they need to use accelerated reliability testing (ART) and accelerated durability testing (ART) as key factors to accurately predict a product′s quality, reliability, durability, and maintainability during given time (service life, warranty period, and other).

Acoustic Emissions techniques have long been studied in civil engineering. This book covers all levels of AE techniques, from basics for beginners to sophisticated AE algorithms to applications on large-scale structures.
