The reliability of electronic assemblies is directly related to the failure rate: higher reliability means a lower failure rate of the drive system, as it reduces the probability of failure within a ...

Failure rate or base failure rate refers to the number of failures per unit of time, typically in terms of failures in time (FITs) equivalent to one failure in a billion hours, which can be expected ...

You don’t have to be an engineer to understand what reliability engineers call the “bathtub curve.” The failure rate of a mechanical system starts high because the designers, builders and everyone ...
