Reliability, Maintainability and Risk
Practical Methods for Engineers including Reliability Centred Maintenance and Safety-Related Systems
David J. Smith - Collection Engineering
Résumé
For over 30 years, the leading practical guide for risk, reliability and maintenance professionals
Now in its seventh edition, Reliability, Maintainability and Risk continues to provide a clear introduction for all engineers working in areas of risk, maintenance and reliability. This updated edition incorporates new material on important topics including software failure, the latest safety legislation and standards, product liability and integrity of safety-related systems, as well as covering recent changes in the approach to reliability modelling. It is also supported by topical and detailed case studies on reliability and risk based on the author's extensive experience.
- The leading reliability reference for over 30 years
- Covers all key aspects of reliability and risk in an accessible way - ideal for hands-on applications
- Includes new material on software failure, safety legislation, redundancy modelling, safety systems and new case studies on reliability and risk in practice
Dealing with all aspects of reliability, maintainability and safety-related failures in a proven simple and straightforward way, the book pre-supposes no prior knowledge of the subject and deals realistically with numerical data, making predictions using the minimum of mathematics and technical jargon.
