Here is the ultimate reference for ascertaining the functionality and remaining life of industrial process equipment. Packed with graphs, figures, photos, and checklists, this edition of An Introduction to Machinery Reliability Assessment is the most approachable and useful book on this topic. This single volume contains dozens of assessment techniques based on probability and statistical analysis. Theoretical and practical contexts are given for the various methods, which include failure mode and effect analysis, risk and hazard assessment, fault tree analysis, Weibull analysis, and field reliability assessment. The second edition now contains expanded treatments of turbomachinery (particularly centrifugal pumps), Weibull analysis techniques, and equipment safety checklists. Most importantly, it includes a new chapter focusing on mechanical structures and piping. New appendixes on safety design checklists and installation reviews and an updated glossary enhance the book's utility and practical application, making it a complete single source of machinery reliability assessment techniques.

The necessity of expertise for tackling the complicated and multidisciplinary issues of safety and risk has slowly permeated into all engineering applications so that risk analysis and management has gained a relevant role, both as a tool in support of plant design and as an indispensable means for emergency planning in accidental situations. This entails the acquisition of appropriate reliability modeling and risk analysis tools to complement the basic and specific engineering knowledge for the technological area of application.Aimed at providing an organic view of the subject, this book provides an introduction to the principal concepts and issues related to the safety of modern industrial activities. It also illustrates the classical techniques for reliability analysis and risk assessment used in current practice.

Analysis of reliability and risk is an important and integral part of planning, construction and operation of all technical systems. To be able to perform such analyses systematically and scientifically, there is usually a need for special methods and models. This book presents the most important of these. Particular emphasis has been placed on the ideas and the motivation for the use of the various methods and models. It has been an objective to compile a book which provides practising engineers and engineering graduates with the concepts and basic techniques for evaluating reliability and risk. It is hoped that the material presented will make them so familiar with the subject that they can carry out various types of analyses themselves and understand and make use of the more detailed applications and additional material which is available in the journals and publications associated with their own discipline. It has also been an objective to put reliability and risk analyses in context - how such analyses should be used in design and operation of components and systems. The material presented is modern and a large part of the book is at research level. The book focuses on analysis of repairable systems, not only non-repairable systems which have traditionally been given most attention in textbooks on reliability theory. Since most real-life systems are repairable, methods for analysing repairable systems are an important area of research. The book presents general methods, with most applications taken from offshore petro leum activities.

Mathematician Andrews and consulting engineer Moss explain reliability and risk analysis techniques for use in assessing the safety in modern process plants and their protective systems. The main probabilistic methods are described, particularly fault tree analysis, failure mode and effect analysis, and their derivatives. Case studies are presented to show how methods have been applied to the identification and quantification of risk and reliability of an undersea mine, steam generators, and a g as turbine system against specific performance requirements. Specific topics include reliability networks, common cause failures, Markov analysis, and simulation. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Reliability data collection and its use in risk and availability assessment is a subject of increasing importance. The founders of EuReDatA, and in particular, Arne Ullman, the originator 'and first Chairman of the Association, recognised the need for a body capable of acting as a catalyst and providing a unified approach to this subject. It is therefore a prevailing objective of the European Reliability Databank Association to initiate and support contact between experts, companies and institutions active in reliability engineering and research. Although the first and principle interest of EuReDatA is reliability data and data banks, the Association is aware that these are tools that are used with others to establish and maintain reliability and safety. It is with this objective that EuReDatA regularly holds conferences and seminars covering a range of reliability topics. C.A. Campbell H.J.
