No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781405185523

Written for advanced undergraduate and master's level courses, this book builds from a base of asymmetric information issues to discuss a wide array of topics and is illustrated with some timely examples.

  • Covers diverse issues such as risk aversion, expected utility, and moral hazard within the pure theory of insurance
  • Provides a clear exposition of the necessary mathematics, a feature which cannot be found in readers on the topic
  • Utilizes an undergraduate economics major level of math
  • Uses the simplest economic models possible to keep the text intuitive
  • Introduces more mathematically complex techniques such as basic optimization for students wishing to 'go further' in their analysis

Reliability Analysis and Asset Management of Engineering Systems
<p><i>Reliability Analysis and Asset Management of Engineering Systems</i> explains methods that can be used to evaluate reliability and availability of complex systems, including simulation-based methods.</p> <p>The increasing digitization of mechanical processes driven by Industry 4.0 increases the interaction between machines and monitoring and control systems, leading to increases in system complexity. For those systems the reliability and availability analyses are increasingly challenging, as the interaction between machines has become more complex, and the analysis of the flexibility of the production systems to respond to machinery failure may require advanced simulation techniques.</p> <p>This book fills a gap on how to deal with such complex systems by linking the concepts of systems reliability and asset management, and then making these solutions more accessible to industry by explaining the availability analysis of complex systems based on simulation methods that emphasise Petri nets.</p>
