Product Description
Component failures result from a combination of factors involving materials science, mechanics, thermodynamics, corrosion, and tribology. With the right guidance, you don’t have to be an authority in all of these areas to become skilled at diagnosing and preventing failures. Based on the author’s more than thirty years of experience, Practical Plant Failure Analysis: A Guide to Understanding Machinery Deterioration and Improving Equipment Reliability is a… More >>

Rating: 5 / 5
Neville provides a great deal of practical information and real investigation case studies in his book. The reader will gain an increased level of confidence analyzing the evidence following an equipment failure to recognize the energy sources causing the damage. I recommend the courses Neville teaches on the failure scene investigation topics as well as having this book on your shelf as a reference.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book provides a well-rounded introduction to failure analysis.The book does this by introducing a failure mechanism, explaining what you look for, and how the failure may be prevented from happening.
What makes book unique is that the author does not make assumptions as to what you know.
