Preface

Functionality, quality, reliability, and safety are indispensable attributes of all technologies. This handbook presents concepts, methods, and techniques to examine symptoms of fault and failure of structures, systems, and components to monitor functional performance and structural integrity. The book is organized in five parts: • Part I introduces the scope and application of technical diagnostics and gives a comprehensive overview of the physics of failure. • Part II presents all relevant methods and techniques for diagnostics and monitoring: from stress, strain, vibration analysis, nondestructive evaluation, thermography and industrial radiology to computed tomography and subsurface microstructural analysis. • Part III cores the principles and concepts of technical failure analysis, illustrates case studies
