Best books to learn Reliability and maintainability engineering, in order
Reliability engineering asks a question every other discipline avoids: not whether a design works, but how long it will keep working, and what it will cost to keep it working. The answer is part statistics — lifetime distributions, censored failure data, accelerated testing — and part engineering judgement about failure modes, redundancy and maintenance.
