Principles of Loads and Failure Mechanisms : Applications in Maintenance, Reliability and Design Hardback
by T Tinga
Part of the Springer Series in Reliability Engineering series
Hardback
Description
Failure of components or systems must be prevented by both designers and operators of systems, but knowledge of the underlying mechanisms is often lacking.
Since the relation between the expected usage of a system and its failure behavior is unknown, unexpected failures often occur, with possibly serious financial and safety consequences.
Principles of Loads and Failure Mechanisms. Applications in Maintenance, Reliability and Design provides a complete overview of all relevant failure mechanisms, ranging from mechanical failures like fatigue and creep to corrosion and electric failures.
Both qualitative and quantitative descriptions of the mechanisms and their governing loads enable a solid assessment of a system’s reliability in a given or assumed operational context.
Moreover, a unique range of applications of this knowledge in the fields of maintenance, reliability and design are presented.
The benefits of understanding the physics of failure are demonstrated for subjects like condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, prognostics and health management, failure analysis and reliability engineering.
Finally, the role of these mechanisms in design processes and design for maintenance are illustrated.
