By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: London : Professional Engineering Pub., [2002]Edition: [2nd ed.]Description: xxvi, 540 p. : ill., figs., tabs. ; 25 cmISBN:
  • 9781860582905
  • 9781860582905
Subject(s):
Partial contents:
An introduction to reliability and risk assessment -- Reliability mathematics -- Qualitative methods -- Failure mode and effects analysis -- Quantification of component failure probabilities -- Reliability networks -- Fault tree analysis -- Common cause failures -- Maintanability -- Markov analysis -- Simulation -- Reliability data collection and analysis -- Risk assessment -- Case study 1: quantitative safety assessment of the ventilation recirculation system in an undersea mine -- Case study 2: failure mode and effects criticality analysis of gas turbine system
Summary: Risk assessment and risk analysis are now firmly fixed in the engineer's lexicon. For major hazard sites requiring a safety case this discipline is essential. This volume expands on the analysis in the first edition and brings a more practical slant to the topic with greater use of case studies.
