Abstract

The ability of an engineering system or products completing the prescribed functions under the prescribed condition and within the prescribed time is called reliability. In the design stage, prescribed functions of an engineering system usually can be expressed as the function of input variable x, which usually can be called the state function g(X). The value of the state function can judge whether functions of an engineering system can meet the design requirements.
