This book provides an introduction to reliability and risk analysis, both for engineering students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and for practicing engineers. Since realibility analysis is a multidisciplinary subject, the scope is not limited to any one engineering disciplines. Rather, the material is applicable to most engineering discipline. I developed the contents of this book f…
in this book, the terms safety or hazard analysis are viewed interchange ably, and they, as well as reliability analysis, refer to studies of process of equipment failure or operability. If the purpose of the study is to determine safety parameters, it is necessary to condider, in addition to equipment failure and operability, the possibility of damage by (or to) the system. I this Phase of the…
The technological age has seen a range of catastrophic and preventable failures, often as a result of decisions that did not appropriately consider safety as a factor in design and engineering. Through more than a dozen practical examples from the author‘s experience in nuclear power, aerospace, and other potentially hazardous facilities, Choosing Safety is the first book to bring together pr…
