• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Reliability and Safety of Complex Technical Systems and Processes offers a comprehensive approach to the analysis, identification, evaluation, prediction and optimization of complex technical systems operation, reliability and safety. Its main emphasis is on multistate systems with ageing components, changes to their structure, and their components reliability and safety parameters during the operation processes.

Reliability and Safety of Complex Technical Systems and Processes presents integrated models for the reliability, availability and safety of complex non-repairable and repairable multistate technical systems, with reference to their operation processes and their practical applications to real industrial systems. The authors consider variables in different operation states, reliability and safety structures, and the reliability and safety parameters of components, as well as suggesting a cost analysis for complex technical systems.

Researchers and industry practitioners will find information on a wide range of complex technical systems in Reliability and Safety of Complex Technical Systems and Processes. It may prove an easy-to-use guide to reliability and safety evaluations of real complex technical systems, both during their operation and at the design stages.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "The book presents general reliability, availability and safety analytical models of complex non-repairable and repairable multi-state technical systems related to their operation processes and applies them to real industrial systems and processes. ... The book contains complete solutions of the formulated problems in case of exponential multi-state reliability functions of their components. ... It can be recommended to researchers and industry practioners." (Laszlo Lakatos, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1226, 2012) "The authors address the safety and risk functions, although their meaning is strictly related to reliability theory. Another distinguishing feature of this book is that the authors focus on systems with multiple reliability states and not only on binary partitioning ... . the work can be treated as a useful source of illustrating examples. ... aimed at a mathematical readership or specialists who are well acquainted with reliability theory and just need a refresher or a source of theorems and examples for lectures."
