Intended for professional engineers and students, this seventh edition incorporates material on important topics including software failure, the safety legislation and standards, product liability, integrity of safety-related systems, as well as delivering a review of the approaches to reliability modelling, including cutsec ranking.
For over 30 years, "Reliability, Maintainability and Risk" has been recognised as a leading text for reliability and maintenance professionals. Now in its seventh edition, the book has been updated to remain the first choice for professional engineers and students. The seventh edition incorporates new material on important topics including software failure, the latest safety legislation and standards, product liability, integrity of safety-related systems, as well as delivering an up-to-date review of the latest approaches to reliability modelling, including cutsec ranking. It is also supported by new detailed case studies on reliability and risk in practice. This is the leading reliability reference for over 30 years. It covers all key aspects of reliability and maintenance management in an accessible way with minimal mathematics. It is ideal for hands-on applications. It includes four new chapters covering software failure, safety legislation, safety systems and new case studies on reliability and risk in practice.

Dr. David J Smith BSc, PhD, CEng, FIEE, HonFSaRS, FIQA, MIGasE, has been directly concerned with reliability, safety and software quality for 30 years. He has written a number of books on the subject as well as numerous papers. His PhD thesis was on the subject of reliability prediction accuracy and common cause failure. He chairs the IGasE panel which develops its guidelines on safety-related systems (now in its third edition). He has also made contributions to IEC 61508.
