Descrição do livro
Failure Analysis in Practice: Lessons from the Field in Oil, Gas and Marine Engineering What kills machines — and sometimes the people who operate them — is rarely a mystery. It leaves evidence. Knowing how to read that evidence is the difference between a failure that repeats itself and one that never happens again. In this book, Bladimir Diaz — Metallurgical Engineer, NDT Level II certified analyst, and thirty-year veteran of the oil and gas and marine industries — presents five real-world failure investigations drawn from his career in the demanding environments of offshore platforms, gas compression plants, tugboats, and high-speed marine vessels. Two of these cases ended in fatalities. All of them were preventable. From fatigue fractures in bronze propellers and stainless steel shafts, to stress corrosion cracking in copper-nickel heat exchanger tubes, to a catastrophic explosion triggered by a perfect storm of procedural failures — each case is documented with the same discipline a forensic investigator brings to a crime scene: physical evidence first, root cause second, corrective action third. The book includes a full technical reference covering failure mechanisms, NDT methods, metallographic and fractographic analysis, and professional report writing — making it both a compelling casebook and a lasting professional reference. For engineers, quality control professionals, and technical managers working in high-consequence industries who understand that the best time to learn from failure is before it happens to you.
