These characteristics can be used for both renewable and non-renewable objects. Their mathematical idea reflects the essence of already known characteristics, i.e. it expresses the probability of failure but expressed as a function of a variable, not necessarily identified with time.}, type={Article}, title={New Characteristics in the Assessment of Reliability of Machines and Devices}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/121955/PDF-MASTER/art05.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mper.2021.139994}, keywords={Reliability, Damage intensity function, Cumulative damage intensity function}, }
