Reliability Assessment Using Stochastic Finite Element Analysis

If there are two textbooks in probabilistic design that are really worth buying, I would reccomend this one and its companion volume "Probability, Reliability and Statistical Methods in Engineering Design" by the same authors. What makes these books so useful is the clear and effective writing style of the authors - which is why its a favorite amongst undergrads, grads and reliability engineers in Industry. A very useful primer in any company implementing a "Design for Reliability" program as a part of their Six Sigma efforts.
