Reliability allocation methods play a pivotal role in engineering, serving as the means by which system-level reliability requirements are systematically distributed among individual subsystems and ...

Reliability has been an important factor in the semiconductor industry for decades. A closer look reveals three main priorities: In the area of technology development and optimization, the microscopic ...

For advanced bonding schemes and panel operations, there is a high cost to discovering an interface issue late in the flow. Reliability improves when materials are specified as a system rather than as ...

In the last two decades, results obtained from structural reliability analysis (SRA) have increasingly led to formation of strategies for future safe operation of corroding oil and gas pipelines. 1-8 ...
