Better reading is "Understanding How Components Fail" by Donald J. Wulpi 2nd ed. published by ASM Int'l., 1999 I fell asleep too fast with Mechanical Reliability and for the LAYpeople around here the ASM book is very good. Less statistics and much more interesting than Wiebull distributions and the like. Granted... Mechanical Reliability is a good text and has its place but Jeff lets not kill our KLR brethren with boredom. LaterZ Dash
