Before revision: corrosion) Material science Definitions Reliability may be defined in the following ways: The idea that an item is fit for a purpose with respect to time The capacity of a designed, produced, or maintained item to perform as required over time The capacity of a population of designed, produced or maintained items to perform as required over time The resistance to failure of an item over time The probability of an item to perform a required function under stated conditions for a specified period of time The durability of an object Basics of a reliability assessment Many engineering techniques are used in reliability risk assessments, such as reliability block diagrams, hazard analysis, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA),Using Failure Modes, Mechanisms, and Effects Analysis in Medical Device Adverse Event Investigations, S. Cheng, D. Das, and M. Pecht, ICBO: International Conference on Biomedical Ontology, Buffalo, NY, July 26–30, 2011, pp.
