This book provides, as simply as possible, sound foundations for an
in-depth understanding of reliability engineering with regard to
qualitative analysis, modelling, and probabilistic calculations of
safety and production systems. Drawing on the authors' extensive
experience within the field of reliability engineering, it
addresses and discusses a variety of topics, including: *
Background and overview of safety and dependability studies; *
Explanation and critical analysis of definitions related to core
concepts; * Risk identification through qualitative approaches
(preliminary hazard analysis, HAZOP, FMECA, etc.); * Modelling of
industrial systems through static (fault tree, reliability block
diagram), sequential (cause-consequence diagrams, event trees,
LOPA, bowtie), and dynamic (Markov graphs, Petri nets) approaches;
* Probabilistic calculations through state-of-the-art analytical or
Monte Carlo simulation techniques; * Analysis, modelling, and
calculations of common cause failure and uncertainties; * Linkages
and combinations between the various modelling and calculation
approaches; * Reliability data collection and standardization. The
book features illustrations, explanations, examples, and exercises
to help readers gain a detailed understanding of the topic and
implement it into their own work. Further, it analyses the
production availability of production systems and the functional
safety of safety systems (SIL calculations), showcasing specific
applications of the general theory discussed. Given its scope, this
book is a valuable resource for engineers, software designers,
standard developers, professors, and students.
