Structural integrity assessment of offshore tubular joints based on reliability analysis

Application of probabilistic modelling to the lifetime management of nuclear boilers in the creep regime: Part 1

“…[11,12], and within the creep regime, e.g., Refs. [13e18]; and applications to the evaluation or reliability analysis of nondestructive testing data, e.g., Refs.…”

Probability density functions of SCFs in internally ring-stiffened tubular KT-joints of offshore structures subjected to axial loading

“…This calls for greater emphasis in accurately determining the probability distribution of SCFs. Rajasankar et al [4] who applied the reliability analysis to the structural integrity assessment of offshore tubular joints used the log-normal distribution for the SCF with the mean and standard deviation of 10.118 and 2.024, respectively. Ahmadi and Lotfollahi-Yaghin [5] and Ahmadi et al [6] performed fatigue reliability analyses, based on stress-life (S-N) and fracture mechanics (FM) approaches, on two-planar tubular DKT-joints under axial loading.…”

RAM investigation of coal-fired thermal power plants: A case study

“…The preventive maintenance cost increases when the inspection and maintenance interval is shortened by maintenance at the higher reliability level. On the other hand, risk or loss caused by failure will increase when the inspection and maintenance interval is lengthened (Okumura and Okino, 2003;Rajasankar et al, 2003). J.…”
