Risk assessment and analysis are required for every engineeringproject, contract, piece of equipment, design, and employmentsituation. Reliability is the other critical element for smoothrunning engineering projects and operations.

The expansion of interest in this area over recent years hascreated a need for a book that covers the assessment techniquesavailable and their practical implementation.

Using case studies and judicious use of mathematics, shortexamples, and key text highlights, the expert authors explore thispotentially complex field and guide the practicing or academicengineer to a working understanding of the subject.

When first published, this book was ahead of its time. This new,fully updated and revised edition provides a more practicalemphasis and more extensive use of case studies.
