Probabilistic risk assessment and management for engineers and scientists

Completely updated and revised, this modern, computer-based text. helps develop synthesis and analysis methods for risk and reliability studies from fundamental principles, and apply them to realistic industrial-level problems. The full treatment of qualitative analysis methods includes: fault trees...
