Practical Plant Failure AnalysisA Guide to Understanding Machinery Deterioration and Improving Equipment Reliability, Second Edition\nAuthor(s): Neville W Sachs, P.E.\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138324114, 978-1138324114\nSynopsis\nThis is a practical guide for those who do the work of maintaining and improving the reliability of mechanical machinery. It is for engineers and skilled trades personnel who want to understand how failures happen and how the physical causes of the great majority can be readily diagnosed in the field. It explains the four major failure mechanisms, wear, corrosion, overload, and fatigue and, using easy-to-read charts, how they can be diagnosed at the site of the failure. Then, knowing the physical failure mechanics involved, the reader can accurately solve the human causes. \n\nTo improve the readers understanding, all the diagrams and most of the tables have been redrawn.
