Composite Structures: Safety Management

by Dr. Bjorn F. Backman

Overview

Composite Structures extends the focus to all the entities that participate in the successful quest for safety and demonstrates how design, manufacturing, maintenance, (inspection), operation, and requirements (regulations) all are part of successful, safe innovation and necessary to assure safe flight through the life of the vehicle. It addresses the notion that safety is a function of time and that vigilant risk management is only successful if it includes all participating entities.

It is a companion to the author's first volume, Composite Structure: Design, Safety and Innovation, published by Elsevier in June 2005.

• Eliminates an unacceptable 'gap' in the world of safety
• Represents a 'new' approach to designing, manufacturing, maintaining, operating and regulating composite airplane structures
• Written for professionals in the aerospace structural development arena whether in indusrty, academia or government

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

This is a book on safety that relies on probabilities in the description, but does not make the pursuit impractical; instead it follows the FAA in adopting the long- and short-term safety objectives of composite structure and presents an integrated approach that makes Design, Manufacturing, Maintenance, Operation and Requirements a formulation toward the joint goal of Efficiency and Safety.
