| Titre : | Reliability, Maintainability and Risk : Practical Methods for Engineers | | Type de document : | texte imprimé | | Auteurs : | David J. Smith, Auteur | | Mention d'édition : | 7 th. ed. | | Editeur : | Amsterdam,Boston,Heidelberg... : Elsevier | | Année de publication : | 2005 | | Importance : | 346 p. | | Présentation : | couv. ill. en coul., ill. | | Format : | 24,5 cm. | | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-0-7506-6694-7 | | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | | Catégories : | AUTOMATISME
| | Index. décimale : | 25-04 Théorie des systèmes:systèmes asservis | | Résumé : | For over 30 years, Reliability, Maintainability and Risk has been recognised as a leading text for reliability and maintenance professionals. Now in its seventh edition, the book has been updated to remain the first choice for professional engineers and students. The seventh edition incorporates new material on important topics including software failure, the latest safety legislation and standards, product liability, integrity of safety-related systems, as well as delivering an up-to-date review of the latest approaches to reliability modelling, including cutsec ranking. It is also supported by new detailed case studies on reliability and risk in practice.
* The leading reliability reference for over 30 years
* Covers all key aspects of reliability and maintenance management in an accessible way with minimal mathematics - ideal for hands-on applications
* Four new chapters covering software failure, safety legislation, 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. | | Note de contenu : | Contents
