Failure rate: Technology & Measurement

Failure rate is the frequency with which any system or component fails, expressed in failures per unit of time. It thus depends on the system conditions, time interval, and total number of systems under study. It can describe electronic, mechanical, or biological systems, in fields such as systems and reliability engineering, medicine and biology, or…
