About this book

The “Handbook of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety in Engineering Design” studies the combination of various methods of designing for reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, as well as the latest techniques in probability and possibility modeling, mathematical algorithmic modeling, evolutionary algorithmic modeling, symbolic logic modeling, artificial intelligence modeling, and object-oriented computer modeling. The book encompasses both a depth of research into engineering design methods and techniques, and a breadth of research into the concept of integrity in engineering design. These topics add significant value to the theoretical expertise and practical experience of process, chemical, civil, mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineers, by considering process engineering design from the point of view of “what should be achieved” to meet criteria for designing for reliability, availability, maintainability and safety.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"[I] would like to recommend this for all design engineers as it provides the most comprehensive coverage of the engineering design problems and analytical tools for achieving the design." K.B. Misra, Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Performability Engineering (2009)

“Stapelberg (Griffith Univ. and engineering consultant, Australia) brings his extensive background and experience to this comprehensive, well-organized handbook, which addresses the different facets of evaluating integrity in engineering design. … All in all, this handbook provides a thorough treatment of the methodology for assessing integrity in engineering design of systems and equipment. Summing Up: Recommended. Academic audiences, undergraduate seniors and above, professional engineering designers and analysts, general readers.” (R. Kolar, Choice, Vol. 47 (6), February, 2010)
