Sommario/riassunto

Understanding why and how failures occur is critical to failure prevention, because even the slightest breakdowncan lead to catastrophic loss of life and asset as well as widespread pollution. This book helps anyoneinvolved with machinery reliability, whether in the design of new plants or the maintenance and operation ofexisting ones, to understand why process equipment fails and thereby prevent similar failures.
