An introduction to machinery reliability assessment

Part 1 Probabilistic approaches: scope and limitations reliability as probability of success estimating machinery reliability a universal approach to predicting machinery reliability predicting reliability of turbomachinery failure mode and effect analysis fault-tree analysis risk and hazard assessment machinery system availability analysis practical field reliability assessment. Part 2 Audits and reviews: the design review process critical component assessment screening of shaft strength selection of flexible couplings, including disengaging drives and trasnmission brakes gear-life assessment screening of belt drives assessment of bearing life, load ratings, sliding bearings and shaft sealing devicexs bolt-loading assessment lubrication systems rotor dynamics audits proposal analysis selection process for machinery. Appendices: the coin toss case safety design checklist for equipment reliability professionals machinery system completeness and reliability appraisal forms.
