About this title

Synopsis

The demand for safety and reliability in complex structures and mechanical systems is increasing as performance standards are escalated. The costs associated with premature or unexpected component failure require a continued need to employ the latest advances in science and engineering to assess performance throughout the life cycle. A significant contributor to the escalating costs of modern complex systems is that associated with the many maintenance actions required to keep the systems operational. The theme of this book is the improvement in mechanical systems through the application of advanced technology. Emphasis is placed on developments in instrumentation and techniques for detection, diagnosis, and prognosis, on the evaluation of materials durability and on mechanisms of failure in aircraft and industrial applications.
