This paper presents a process of systematization and analysis of the reliability parameters of a proportional hydraulic platform that aims to study position control using hydraulic systems. Currently the positioning systems using... more
Risk is defined as the probability of a specific adverse event occurring within a specific period, while Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) is the development of a quantitative estimate of risk based on engineering evaluation and... more
Geotechnical design has traditionally been done using working stress design (WSD). Working stress design identifies limit states for a structure, then protects against their occurrence using factors of safety. Load and resistance factor... more
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse and compare the downtime of four drilling machines used in two underground mines in Sweden. The downtime of these machines was compared to show what problems affect downtime and which... more
Lifetime management of underground pipelines is mandatory for safe hydrocarbon transmission and distribution systems. The use of high-density polyethylene tubes subjected to internal pressure, external loading and environmental variations... more
This paper proposes a methodology to apply Bayesian networks to structural system reliability reassessment, with the incorporation of two important features of large structures: (1) multiple failure sequences, and (2) correlations between... more
One of the most prominent statistical distributions is the Weibull distribution. The recent modifications in this distribution have enhanced its application but only in specific fields. To introduce a more generalized Weibull... more
Using the Stochastic Finite Element Method (SFEM) to perform reliability analysis of the free vibration of composite plates with material and fabrication uncertainties has received much attention lately. In this work the stochastic... more
The jurisprudence that has developed in the last twenty-five years under Batson v. Kentucky may be fairly described as indeterminate, unprincipled, and generally ineffective. Scholarly literature points to a variety of reasons for this... more
In the Army mechanical fatigue subject to external and inertia transient loads in the service life of mechanical systems often leads to a structural failure due to accumulated damage. Structural durability analysis that predicts the... more
Six phoneticians rated the voices of 26 American and 22 German speakers on nine voice quality parameters which were discussed and illustrated by tape-recorded examples before the rating sessions. A reliability analysis showed highly... more
One of the most prominent statistical distributions is the Weibull distribution. The recent modifications in this distribution have enhanced its application but only in specific fields. To introduce a more generalized Weibull... more
This research study proposed a novel algorithm, called time-counter, to optimise inspection intervals of production systems. The developed algorithm was applied to two active draglines. The algorithm evaluated random uptime/downtime... more
This paper explores the challenges, opportunities, benefits, and limitations of reliability assessment of major and critical components of infrastructure using structural health monitoring (SHM) data. The focus is on bridges but the... more
