This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of the 80's there has been an increasing need for analytic and numerical techniques, based on a thorough understanding of microstructural processes, that express in a manner suitable for practicing engineers the reliability of components and structures that are being subjected to degradation situations. Such situations fall within the framework offracture mechanics, fatigue, corrosion fatigue and pitting corrosion. Luckily, such techniques are now being developed and it was felt timely to combine in one volume reports by the leaders in this field who are currently making great strides towards solving these problems. Hence the idea of this monograph was born and I am pleased to be associated both with it and the contributors whose chapters are included in this volume. A very large part of the credit for this monograph must go to the authors who have taken time out from their busy schedules to prepare their submissions. They have all worked diligently over the last few months in order to get their manuscripts to me on time and I sincerely thank them for their help throughout the preparation of this volume.

Download or read book A Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics Approach for Structural Reliability Assessment of Space Flight Systems written by M. Creager and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A probabilistic fracture mechanics approach for predicting the failure life distribution due to subcritical crack growth is presented. A state-of-the-art crack propagation method is used in a Monte Carlo simulation to generate a distribution of failure lives. The crack growth failure model expresses failure life as a function of stochastic parameters including environment, loads, material properties, geometry, and model specification errors. A stochastic crack growth rate model that considers the uncertainties due to scatter in the data and model misspecification is proposed. The rationale for choosing a particular type of probability distribution for each stochastic input parameter and for specifying the distribution parameters is presented. The approach is demonstrated through a probabilistic crack growth failure analysis of a welded tube in the Space Shuttle Main Engine. A discussion of the results from this application of the methodology is given.
Download or read book Applications of a Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics Model to the Influence of In Service Inspection on Structural Reliability written by DO. Harris and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A probabilistic fracture mechanics model of structural reliability is described that considers failure to occur as the result of subcritical and catastrophic growth of pre-existing cracks that escape detection. The model considers cracks to be two-dimensional and is capable of treating many of the input parameters as random variables and can consider arbitrary inspection schedules. The two-dimensional model is greatly simplified when one-dimensional cracks are considered, and an analytical treatment of the influence of in-service inspection for the one-dimensional case reveals that the ratio of failure rates with and without inspection is independent of the crack size distribution. Numerical results for two-dimensional cracks in a weld joint in a large reactor pipe show that the ratio of failure rates is not highly dependent on the initial crack distribution, even for this more general case. Thus, it appears that an assessment of the relative benefit of in-service inspection does not require accurate knowledge of the initial crack distribution. Additionally, the results show that leaks in large pipes are not very probable, but are much more likely to occur than a sudden double-ended pipe break.

Download or read book Fracture Mechanics 2 written by Ammar Grous and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second book of a 3-volume set on Fracture Mechanics completes the first volume through the analysis of adjustment tests suited to correctly validating the justified use of the laws conforming to the behavior of the materials and structures under study. This volume focuses on the vast range of statistical distributions encountered in reliability. Its aim is to run statistical measurements, to present a report on enhanced measures in mechanical reliability and to evaluate the reliability of repairable or unrepairable systems. To achieve this, the author presents a theoretical and practice-based approach on the following themes: criteria of failures; Bayesian applied probability; Markov chains; Monte Carlo simulation as well as many other solved case studies. This book distinguishes itself from other works in the field through its originality in presenting an educational approach which aims at helping practitioners both in academia and industry. It is intended for technicians, engineers, designers, students, and teachers working in the fields of engineering and vocational education. The main objective of the author is to provide an assessment of indicators of quality and reliability to aid in decision-making. To this end, an intuitive and practical approach, based on mathematical rigor, is recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book of a 3-volume set on Fracture Mechanics is mainly centered on the vast range of the laws of statistical distributions encountered in various scientific and technical fields. These laws are indispensable in understanding the probability behavior of components and mechanical structures that are exploited in the other volumes of this series, which are dedicated to reliability and quality control. The author presents not only the laws of distribution of various models but also the tests of adequacy suited to confirm or counter the hypothesis of the law in question, namely the Pearson (x2) test, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, along with many other relevant tests.

Download or read book Probabilistic Model for Pressure Vessel Reliability Incorporating Fracture Mechanics and Nondestructive Examination written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A probabilistic model has been developed for predicting the reliability of structures based on fracture mechanics and the results of nondestructive examination (NDE). The distinctive feature of this model is the way in which inspection results and the probability of detection (POD) curve are used to calculate a probability density function (PDF) for the number of flaws and the distribution of those flaws among the various size ranges. In combination with a probabilistic fracture mechanics model, this density function is used to estimate the probability of failure (POF) of a structure in which flaws have been detected by NDE. The model is useful for parametric studies of inspection techniques and material characteristics.

Download or read book Failure Criteria Used in a Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics Code written by and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two criteria are implemented in a piping reliability analysis code to assess the stability of crack growth in pipes. One is the critical net section stress criterion. It is simple and convenient but its application is limited to very ductile materials. The other is the tearing modulus stability criterion. This criterion has a solid technical base. However, calculating the J-integral, J, and the associated tearing modulus, T, usually requires a complicated finite element method (FEM). In this piping reliability code, existing J and T solutions in tabular or formula form instead of the FEM are used for computational efficiency. These two failure criteria are discussed and compared in terms of their effects on the estimation of pipe failure probability. 5 refs., 9 figs.

Download or read book Probabilistic Structural Mechanics Handbook written by C.R. Sundararajan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for a comprehensive book on probabilistic structural mechanics that brings together the many analytical and computational methods developed over the years and their applications in a wide spectrum of industries-from residential buildings to nuclear power plants, from bridges to pressure vessels, from steel structures to ceramic structures-became evident from the many discussions the editor had with practising engineers, researchers and professors. Because no single individual has the expertise to write a book with such a di.verse scope, a group of 39 authors from universities, research laboratories, and industries from six countries in three continents was invited to write 30 chapters covering the various aspects of probabilistic structural mechanics. The editor and the authors believe that this handbook will serve as a reference text to practicing engineers, teachers, students and researchers. It may also be used as a textbook for graduate-level courses in probabilistic structural mechanics. The editor wishes to thank the chapter authors for their contributions. This handbook would not have been a reality without their collaboration.
