Such are unreliable in sense that they degrade with age and/or usage fail when no longer capable delivering When a system fails, consequences can be dramatic. It result serious economic losses, affect humans do damage to environment. failures controlled through preventive maintenance actions. Due advances understanding physics failure, technologies used combat this failure; literature is vast. Complex System Maintenance Handbook first book integrate vast chapters written by internationally-renowned active researchers experienced practitioners focussing different aspects maintenance. Each chapter reviews dealing particular aspect maintenance, reports developments trends industry sector, or presents case study.
