Safety is one of the most important issues today. Recent
international standards such as ISO and IEC have consistently
advocated goal-based procedures of designing systems for better
safety. The procedure assumes safety goals are explicitly
established by international organizations, individual nations,
particular industries or private companies. Satisfying Safety Goals
by Modern Reliability Engineering is a methodological approach to
the goal-based safety design procedure that will soon be an
international requirement.
Satisfying Safety Goals by Modern Reliability Engineering
primarily focuses on the quantitative aspects of international
standards. The methodologies presented are illustrated through the
use of case studies. The book also:
- presents accident statistics and safety goals;
- describes abnormal event enumeration for the target
system;
- develops risk reduction mechanisms;
- discusses probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) models typified
by event trees coupled with fault trees;
- presents conventional materials for basic event
quantification;
- describes how to calculate safety criteria from the PRA models,
given basic event data;
- evaluates uncertainties of point estimates of safety criteria;
and
- considers how external event quantification can expand the
scope of PRA.
Satisfying Safety Goals by Modern Reliability Engineering will
be a good reference for senior undergraduates, postgraduates and
researchers in the fields of reliability engineering and safety
engineering and risk assessment. It will also be of interest to
reliability engineers, practitioners in industry and regulatory
authorities.
