This book provides, as simply as possible, sound foundations for an in-depth understanding of reliability engineering with regard to qualitative analysis, modelling, and probabilistic calculations of safety and production systems.
Drawing on the authors’ extensive experience within the field of reliability engineering, it addresses and discusses a variety of topics, including:
• Background and overview of safety and dependability studies;
• Explanation and critical analysis of definitions related to core concepts;
• Risk identification through qualitative approaches (preliminary hazard analysis, HAZOP, FMECA, etc.);
• Modelling of industrial systems through static (fault tree, reliability block diagram), sequential (cause-consequence diagrams, event trees, LOPA, bowtie), and dynamic (Markov graphs, Petri nets) approaches;
• Probabilistic calculations through state-of-the-art analytical or Monte Carlo simulation techniques;
• Analysis, modelling, and calculations of common cause failure and uncertainties;
• Linkages and combinations between the various modelling and calculation approaches;
• Reliability data collection and standardization.
The book features illustrations, explanations, examples, and exercises to help readers gain a detailed understanding of the topic and implement it into their own work. Further, it analyses the production availability of production systems and the functional safety of safety systems (SIL calculations), showcasing specific applications of the general theory discussed. Given its scope, this book is a valuable resource for engineers, software designers, standard developers, professors, and students.

About the Author
Alain Leroy started his career in offshore engineering and was for ten years with the insurance industry. However, he has worked for most of his career in reliability engineering, focusing mainly on the implementation and use of novel approaches and techniques for assessing dependability parameters in the oil and gas industry. He has delivered courses on reliability at both basic and high levels.
Jean-Pierre Signoret has been in charge of the research and development of methods and tools in reliability engineering, as well as of practical studies related to reliability modelling. He is still involved in the development of several international standards, including IEC and ISO, related to dependability, functional safety, reliability data collection, and production assurance. As a member of TPA, he gives short courses in various universities on this topic.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
