Wiley Guidelines for Preventing Human Error in Process Safety
Book SynopsisAlmost all the major accident investigations - Texas City, Piper Alpha, the Phillips 66 explosion, Feyzin, Mexico City - show human error as the principal cause, either in design, operations, maintenance, or the management of safety. This book provides practical advice that can substantially reduce human error at various levels.Table of ContentsList of Figures and Tables. Preface. Glossary and Acronyms. 1. Introduction: The Role of Human Error in Chemical Process Safety. 1.1 Introduction. 1.2 The Role of Human Error in System Accidents. 1.3 Why Is Human Error Neglected in the CPI? 1.4 Benefits of Improved Human Performance. 1.5 The Traditional and System-induced Error Approach. 1.6 A Demand-Resource Mismatch View of Error. 1.7 A Case Study Illustrating the System-Induced Error Approach. 1.8 From Theory to Practice. 1.9 Appendix Case Studies. 2.

Taylor & Francis Inc Mechanics of Structures
Book SynopsisResoundingly popular in its first edition, the second edition of Mechanics of Structures: Variational and Computational Methods promises to be even more so, with broader coverage, expanded discussions, and a streamlined presentation.The authors begin by describing the behavior of deformable solids through the differential equations for the strength of materials and the theory of elasticity. They next introduce variational principles, including mixed or generalized principles, and derive integral forms of the governing equations. Discussions then move to computational methods, including the finite element method, and these are developed to solve the differential and integral equations.New in the second edition:A one-dimensional introduction to the finite element method, complete with illustrations of numerical mesh refinement Expansion of the use of Galerkin''s method. Discussion of recent developments in the theory of bending and torTrade Review"[This book] represents clear progress in this recent custom of popularizing structural mechanics … . The book includes several important and deep topics that are often neglected in other works of the same kind. It shows a great effort towards completeness. It collects all classical variational principles of continuum mechanics … . … [T]he merit of the book resides in its colossal attempt to recombine three branches of the theory of elasticity (foundations, structures, numerical methods), which tend to diverge." - Meccanica, Vol. 39, 2004 Table of ContentsFormulations for Linear Problems of Elasticity. Formulations for Dynamic and Stability Problems. Bars and Plates. Appendices.
