About the Book

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 down-to-earth guide to improving machinery maintenance and reliability. Illustrated with hundreds of diagrams and photographs, this book examines! * When and how to conduct a physical failure analysis * Basic material properties including heat treating mechanisms, work hardening, and the effects of temperature changes on material properties * The differences in appearance between ductile overload, brittle overload, and fatigue failures * High cycle fatigue and how to differentiate between high stress concentrations and high operating stresses * Low cycle fatigue and unusual fatigue situations * Lubrication and its influence on the three basic bearing designs * Ball and roller bearings, gears, fasteners, V-belts, and synchronous belts Taking a detailed and systematic approach, Practical Plant Failure Analysis thoroughly explains the four major failure mechanisms--wear, corrosion, overload, and fatigue--as well as how to identify them. The author clearly identifies how these mechanisms appear in various components and supplies convenient charts that demonstrate how to identify the specific causes of failure.

Table of Contents:
An Introduction to Failure Analysis. Some General Considerations on Failure Analysis. Materials and the Sources of Stresses. Overload Failures. Fatigue Failures (Part 1): The Basics. Fatigue (Part 2): Torsional, Low-Cycle, and Very-Low-Cycle Failure Influences and Fatigue Interpretations. Understanding and Recognizing Corrosion. Lubrication and Wear. Belt Drives. Ball and Roller Bearings. Gears. Fastener and Bolted Joint Failures. Miscellaneous Machine Element Failures. Bibliography for Practical Plant Failure Analysis. Index.

Review :

“… provides students of mechanical engineering with an interdisciplinary approach to the concept that component failures result from a combination of factors that involve materials science, mechanics, thermodynamics, corrosion, and tribology. … his more than thirty years of experience and expertise to provide the reader with a practical, informative, guide to improving machinery maintenance and reliability. … presents practical guidance on failure mechanism, including what leads to these failures and how to avoid them, … informative text is enhanced with more than 300 photographs and illustrations to develop competence and confidence in visually diagnosing machinery failures. An essential reference and comprehensive instructional guide to diagnosing and dealing with machinery failure, … is a core addition to academic, trade school, and professional reference library collections.”
— In The Midwest Book Review (Wisconsin Bookwatch), July 2007
