{"product_id":"9780080467559","title":"Risk-Based Reliability Analysis and Generic Principles for Risk Reduction","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book has been written with the intention to fill two big gaps in the reliability and risk literature: the risk-based reliability analysis as a powerful alternative to the traditional reliability analysis and the generic principles for reducing technical risk.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn important theme in the book is the generic principles and techniques for reducing technical risk. These have been classified into three major categories: preventive (reducing the likelihood of failure), protective (reducing the consequences from failure) and dual (reducing both, the likelihood and the consequences from failure). Many of these principles (for example: avoiding clustering of events, deliberately introducing weak links, reducing sensitivity, introducing changes with opposite sign, etc.) are discussed in the reliability literature for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSignificant space has been allocated to component reliability. In the last chapter of the book, several applications are discussed of a powerful equation which constitutes the core of a new theory of locally initiated component failure by flaws whose number is a random variable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a shift in the existing paradigm for conducting reliability analyses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers risk-based reliability analysis and generic principles for reducing risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a new measure of risk based on the distribution of the potential losses from failure as well as the basic principles for risk-based design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporates fast algorithms for system reliability analysis and discrete-event simulators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the probability of failure of a structure with complex shape expressed with a simple equation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076949098736,"sku":"9780080467559","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080467559_p0.jpg?v=1763637602","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080467559","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
