The “Handbook of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety in Engineering Design” studies the combination of various methods of designing for reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, as well as the latest techniques in probability and possibility modeling, mathematical algorithmic modeling, evolutionary algorithmic modeling, symbolic logic modeling, artificial intelligence modeling, and object-oriented computer modeling. The book encompasses both a depth of research into engineering design methods and techniques, and a breadth of research into the concept of integrity in engineering design. These topics add significant value to the theoretical expertise and practical experience of process, chemical, civil, mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineers, by considering process engineering design from the point of view of “what should be achieved” to meet criteria for designing for reliability, availability, maintainability and safety.
