Designed to help you identify the cause of equipment failure in your plant and reduce its incidence, this book has been written specifically for engineers and managers in most industrial sectors.
• Learn about trends in equipment failure rates, costs, mechanisms and causes in different sectors of industry
• Find out how solutions to aviation equipment failures can be applied to other industries through the use of fracture mechanics and corrosion prediction
• Learn how to improve the failure resistance of welded joints
• Discover how these factors can become part of a strategy for reducing failure rates in industries such as gas processing, power generation, pulp and paper production, petrochemical, chemical processing, and others

Contents include: Trends in equipment failure rates, costs, mechanisms and causes ; Solutions to equipment failure in aviation ; Solutions to equipment failure based on fracture mechanics ; Solutions to equipment failure based on predicting corrosion behavior ;Solutions to equipment failure at welded joints; Solutions to equipment failure in hydrocarbon processing; Index.
