Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. How Did That Happen? - Engineering Safety and Reliability uses lessons learned from real engineering problems to highlight what good engineering practice should be. Hazards to safety have to be recognized so they can be avoided. Where they cannot be avoided, the resulting risk to safety has to be reduced. Expensive and dangerous mistakes occur and are often put down to 'engineering failure' or 'human error'. The truth is usually much more complex and involved, even for the most simple problem. All engineers and managers, therefore, need to be equipped to appreciate, understand and implement the basic principles of safety, health and environmental management in their work. This excellent text is an accessible and readable exploration of why engineering disasters happen. Written for practising engineers, the aim of this book is to draw lessons from engineering problems and disasters, and to ensure that fewer of them happen in the future. Its purpose is to educate engineers in the application of safety and reliability technologies in their work. COMPLETE CONTENTS: Background - The Law on Health and Safety - Identifying hazards - Human factors - Safety integration - Searching for hazards - Failure, Statistics and reliability - Quantifying risk - Risk management - Maintenance strategies - Piper Alpha - Glossary - Bibliography - Directory.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. These specially commissioned articles demonstrate a broad range of task complexity and this should reward the reader with insights into the difficulties routinely encountered in remote applications. Examples are mainly taken from the nuclear industry and include remote sampling systems, tele-operated vehicle and manipulator systems, and climbing/walking robots for operation within hostile environments. These systems must negotiate impractically small openings, endure unreasonable temperatures, and withstand various forms of radiation while performing some difficult tasks. Such tasks characterize the set of challenges faced by the authors who have contributed to this book, and the solutions described demonstrate their ingenuity and determination in overcoming those challenges. An interesting overview also investigates future directions in tele-operated robotics.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Published as part of the highly successful Engineering Research Series, A Knowledge-Based System for Powder Metallurgy Technology not only looks at the latest advances in powder metallurgy, but also presents a methodology that offers a means to preserve critical process-related know-how. The author makes this practical information easily accessible to design engineers so that they can take advantage of the opportunities that powder metallurgy offers. The knowledge-based system aims to simulate the capability of human experts in solving design, materials, and process optimization problems in powder metallurgy. This is achieved through use of process modelling and artificial intelligence techniques such as neural networks. The rapid developments in expert systems in recent years have enabled accumulated experience and knowledge to be applied in the powder metallurgy field. This calls for careful modelling of the processes together with sound appreciation of both powder metallurgy and knowledge-based systems. A Knowledge-based System for Powder Metallurgy Technology introduces the reader to both fields in the early chapters and then illustrates the advantages of the use of expert systems in this significant manufacturing process. A Knowledge-based System for Powder Metallurgy Technology is based upon the author?s extensive experience of computing, expert systems, modelling and powder metallurgy on both sides of the Atlantic and represents a valuable addition to the Engineering Research Series. Published as part of the "Engineering Research Series", this work not only looks at the advances in powder metallurgy, but also presents a methodology that offers a means to preserve critical process related know how.
