Types of Reliability
In This method the test is divided into two equal or nearly halves
equipment and occur without any fault on the part of the operator.
Types of Failure
Early failures
Wearout failures
Chance failures
Early failures
These are the failures which occur early in the life of a component.
• Corrosion or oxidation
and unexpectedly.

MTTF is relevant only for assets and equipment that cannot or should not be
Let F(t) = 1 – R(t), the failure probability and f(t) = dF(t)/dt, the failure probability
density.
