An Introduction to the Basics of Reliability and Risk by Enrico Zio

By Enrico Zio

The need of workmanship for tackling the complex and multidisciplinary safety issues and threat has slowly permeated into all engineering purposes in order that hazard research and administration has won a suitable position, either as a device in aid of plant layout and as an quintessential ability for emergency making plans in unintended events. This involves the purchase of acceptable reliability modeling and danger research instruments to enrich the fundamental and particular engineering wisdom for the technological zone of software. geared toward delivering an natural view of the topic, this e-book presents an creation to the vital suggestions and concerns relating to the security of contemporary commercial actions. It additionally illustrates the classical concepts for reliability research and danger overview utilized in present perform.

35) This quantity is often called the return period of the stochastic process.

Based on the conditional probability, it is possible to introduce the concept of statistical independence: event A is said to be statistically independent from event B if P(A I B) = P ( A ) , In other words, knowing that B has occurred does not change the probability of A. 13), it follows that if A and B are statistically independent P ( A nB) = P(A)P(B). 2) which is actually a logical dependence: knowing that A has occurred (X,= 1), guarantees that B cannot occur (X,= 0). 2 [l] There are two streams flowing past an industrial plant.

4 Probability laws As previously mentioned, to the generic random event E is associated an indicator variable X,which takes the value of 1 when the event occurs in the experiment and 0 when it does not. Correspondingly, a real number p(E) is assigned to measure the probability of E and which satisfies the three Kolmogorov axioms. 1 Union of non-mutually exclusive events Consider n events En not mutually exclusive. 2) for the union of the two events A and B. 9) the (linear) expectation operator.
