2. Reliability
The focus here is on concepts. For theoretical aspects and reliability calculations, please refer to
Reliability is defined as the ability of a device to operate without failure, under given conditions, for a given time. When we quantify this parameter, we express this aptitude as the probability of reaching a time t without failure.
For example: reliability (1,000 hours) = 98%, which means that in 2% of cases, we have to accept that a failure may occur before the specified time.
It should be noted that absolute reliability (zero risk of failure or reliability (t ) = 100%) does not generally exist, which may be considered regrettable, since...
