Mechanical Failure Avoidance: Strategies and Techniques by Charles E. Witherell
In today's environmentally-sensitive society, failures of engineered systems are becoming intolerable. This book describes the broad range of damage potential in engineered systems, how failures can be headed off at their origins and how the cost of these failures can be eliminated. Topics covered include predictive modelling, life-cycle management and how to implement proven day-to-day avoidance strategies.
