This article presents a state-of-the-art review of recent advances aimed at transforming traditional Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) into a more intelligent, data-driven, and semantically enriched process. As engineered systems grow in complexity, conventional FMEA methods, largely manual, document-centric…

—Today's production systems are complex networks of cyber-physical systems which combine mechanical and electronic parts with software and networking capabilities. To the inherent complexity of such systems, additional complexity arises from the context in which these systems operate. Manufacturing companies need to be…

This paper examines the relationship between conceptual and embodied reasoning in engineering work. In the last decade across multiple research projects on pipeline engineering, we have observed only a few times when engineers have expressed embodied or sensory aspects of their practice, as if the activity itself is…

Failure is a central notion both in ethics of engineering and in engineering practice. Engineers devote considerable resources to assure their products will not fail and considerable progress has been made in the development of tools and methods for understanding and avoiding failure. Engineering ethics, on the other…

The implementation of Digital Twins (DTs) represents a significant advancement for the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry. A DT virtually replicates a physical asset, enabling the monitoring, diagnosis, prediction, and optimization of its outcomes. Since failures are undesirable outcomes, investigations into potential failure…

'Caio Bezerra Souto Maior'] The construction industry is recognized as one of the most hazardous industries globally due to the dynamic on site activities and labour-intensive characteristics. The construction tasks are physically and cognitively demanding therefore the construction workers are prone to work fatigue…

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is one of the most practical design tools implemented in the product design to analyze the possible failures and to improve the design. The use of FMEA is diversified, and different approaches are proposed by various organizations and researchers from one application to…

The recent article in the August 2020 issue of Quality Progress "Reliability Disasters" by Doganaksoy Meeker and Hahn (henceforth DMH) raises some important questions about engineering for reliability, in particular the challenge referred to in their opening sentence, that "the elapsed time between when the product is…

This book is focused on the broad issues surrounding "realizing complex integrated systems." What do we mean by this? It might be helpful to break down our title, one word at a time. To do this, we start at the end. What is a "system"? We start this introductory chapter by addressing that question. We pose a number of…

The article describes what constitutes chemical engineering and its branches are in plain language. It outlines what to expect when one enrolls in a chemical engineering program as an undergraduate or graduate student. This may include core subjects to take, skillset to master, and other essential expertise that might…

—To improve the flexibility and robustness of the engineering of automated production systems (aPS) in the case of extending, reducing or modifying parts, several approaches propose an encapsulation and clustering of related functions, e.g. from electrical, mechanical or software engineering, based on a modular…
