reliability engineering
Failing badly – Fails with a catastrophic result or without warning Industrial engineering – Branch of engineering which deals with the optimization of complex processes or systems Performance engineering – Encompasses the techniques applied during a systems development life cycle and Performance indicator – Measurement that evaluates the success of an organization RAMS – Engineering characterization of a product or system Solid mechanics – Branch of mechanics concerned with solid materials and their behaviors Strength of materials
Stress–strength analysis – tool in reliability engineering; analysis of the strength of the materials and the interference of the stresses placed on the materials, where "materials" is not necessarily the raw goods or parts, but can be an entire system
Structural fracture mechanics – Field of structural engineering
Temperature cycling – Chemical process
Weibull distribution – Continuous probability distribution
