1st Edition

Engineering Risk and Hazard Assessment Volume I

By Abraham Kandel Copyright 1988

    The volumes deal with the newly emerging field ofRisk and Hazard Assessment and its application to science and engineering. These volumes deal with issues such as short-and long-term hazards, setting priorities in safety, fault analysis for process plants, hazard identification and safety assessment of human- robot systems, plant fault diagnoses expert systems, knowledge based diagnostic systems, fault tree analysis, modelling of computer security systems for risk and reliability analysis, risk analysis of fatigue failure, fault evaluation of complex system, probabilistic risk analysis, and expert systems for fault detection. This volume will provide the reader not only with valuable conceptual and technical information but also with a better view of the field, its problems, accomplishments, and future potentials

    1. Numerical Comparison of Short- and Long-Term Hazards 2. Setting Priorities in Safety 3. Fault Tree analysis for Process Plants 4. Hazard identification and Safety Assessment of Human-robot Systems 5. Plant Fault Diagnosis Expert System Based on PC Data Manipulation 6. Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis: Theory and Application
