The life cycle cost is the sum of all costs incurred during the life time of an item. In today’s global economy, the procurement decisions of many engineering products are not entirely made on initial procurement costs alone but on their life cycle costs. Past experiences indicate that product ownership cost often exceeds the procurement cost. Eliminating the need to consult many different sources, this book brings together useful life cycle costing concepts for various industrial sectors. It explores the economics of life cycle costing, presents introductory engineering reliability and maintainability concepts, and includes numerous examples with solutions.
An in-depth introduction to Intelligent Energy Field Manufacturing (EFM), this book explores a fresh engineering methodology that not only integrates but also goes beyond others such as Design for Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Concurrent Engineering, selfassembly, biometics, and more. It discusses dynamic M-PIE flows, the generalities of energy fields, logic functional materials and intelligence, the open scheme of intelligent EFM implementation, and the principles of intelligent EFM. The book takes a highly interdisciplinary approach that includes research frontiers such as micro/nano fabrication, high strain rate processes, and laser shock forming.

Practical Reliability Engineering and Analysis for System Design and Life-Cycle Sustainment William Wessels University of Alabama, Huntsville, USA
Structured in stand-alone sections and designed specifically for practicing engineers, this book addresses specific reliability and maintainability analysis methods for part design, systems integration, and life-cycle sustainment. Unlike many books on this subject, this one departs from the nearly exclusive use of the exponential probability distribution to characterize failure and demonstrates other probability distributions that more accurately describe the true behavior of failure. Eschewing a more mathematical or statistical approach, it focuses on engineering and emphasizes failure that results from wear-out over the useful life of the part.

Systems Engineering and Architecting
The Art of Systems Architecting
Creating Formal Requirements
Third Edition Mark W. Maier Aerospace Corporation, Chantilly, Virginia, USA
Larry Bellagamba
Eberhardt Rechtin
This book presents a set of formal requirements— explicit, executable instructions—for systems engineering and architecting. Written in Mathematica®, the requirements provide tools to help systems engineers and architects accomplish key tasks better, faster, and cheaper. Chapters open with real-world case studies and illustrate using formal requirements to accomplish four key activities: model system behavior, make decisions, establish natural language requirements, and improve processes. Each chapter ends with heuristics that serve as guiding principles for doing systems engineering and architecting. The formal requirements are available online as an open source library.
Extensively revised to reflect the latest developments, the third edition of this bestselling text explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them. The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates. He uses a heuristicsbased approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems. Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, but as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure, the book provides methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making.
