Two positive effects arise from that: firstly, all inherently and explicitly contained complexity of Safety Instrumented Systems is identified once and condensed into a set of transformation formulas generating the actual calculation models. Secondly, providing a flexible and extensive description language encourages smart and quick engineering processes, enables for non-standard solutions, and relieves safety engineers from the challenge of actually deriving explicit calculation models by hand. A suitable new type of discrete time multiphase markov model is chosen as mathematical basis, and comes along with the required solver algorithms for retrieving the desired unavailability characteristics: the probability of failure on demand (PFD), and the probability of fail-safe (PFS), i.e. an operational unavailability as economical indicator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Gabriel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 383252892X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783832528928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Logos Verlag Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Thomas Gabriel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450125398271,"sku":"9783832528928","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5cfe8239-acd9-4a76-9a45-28ec02e66fb4.jpg?v=1777266320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/generic-construction-of-availability-calculation-thomas-gabriel-9783832528928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
