This graduate-level textbook elucidates low-risk and fail-safe
systems in mathematical detail. It addresses, in particular,
problems where mission-critical performance is paramount, such as
in aircraft, missiles, nuclear reactors and weapons, submarines,
and many other types of systems where "failure" can result in
overwhelming loss of life and property. The book is divided into
four parts: Fundamentals, Electronics, Software, and Dangerous
Goods. The first part on Fundamentals addresses general concepts of
system safety engineering that are applicable to any type of
system. The second part, Electronics, addresses the detection and
correction of electronic hazards. In particular, the Bent Pin
Problem, Sneak Circuit Problem, and related electrical problems are
discussed with mathematical precision. The third part on Software
addresses predicting software failure rates as well as detecting
and correcting deep software logical flaws (called defects). The
fourth part on Dangerous Goods presents solutions to three typical
industrial chemical problems faced by the system safety engineer
during the design, storage, and disposal phases of a dangerous
goods' life cycle.
