Stuttgart Research Center for Reliability Engineering (SFZ)
The Stuttgart Research Center for Reliability Engineering (SFZ) is a hub for all activities in the former research areas Drive Train Diagnostics and Prognostics and Reliability Engineering. The thematic focus is, on the one hand, on the use of sensor data to detect damage in drive trains at an early stage. Based on this, lifetime predictions are made and measures to extend the lifetime are derived. On the other hand, topics ranging from test planning and reliability modeling using test and field data to the use of prior knowledge from similar products for efficient reliability demonstration are addressed.

Reliability textbook in 4th edition published

Zuverlässigkeit im Fahrzeug- und Maschinenbau (german)
After almost 20 years since the publication of the 3rd edition (2004), the new Basic Book - Reliability Engineering has been published. The basic qualitative and quantitative reliability methods have been adapted to the current state of the art. The focus of the revision was on life data analysis and reliability test planning, which are essential for industrial application. State-of-the-art estimation methods for determining product failure distributions and confidence intervals are now available for reliability novices and experts. Also included are guidelines for practically oriented planning of failure-free and failure-based test procedures as well as accelerated and degradation tests.
