Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a compilation of experience from a slate of experts involved in developing and deploying Bayesian Networks (BN) for corrosion management. The contributors describe how probability distributions can be developed for corroding systems and BN can be applied as an ideal framework to deal with corrosion risk. Corrosion can develop suddenly and grow rapidly after a long incubation period and take many non-uniform aspects, including pitting and stress corrosion cracking, that cannot be mitigated by simply bulking up the system. They also describe how complex engineering structures and systems are influenced by many natural and engineering factors that come together in myriad ways. It provides a broad perspective to the reader on the potential of BN as an artificial intelligence tool for corrosion risk management and the challenges for implementing it.

Download or read book High Performance Bolting Technology for Offshore Oil and Natural Gas Operations written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commercially significant amounts of crude oil and natural gas lie under the continental shelf of the United States. Advances in locating deposits, and improvements in drilling and recovery technology, have made it technically and economically feasible to extract these resources under harsh conditions. But extracting these offshore petroleum resources involves the possibility, however remote, of oil spills, with resulting damage to the ocean and the coastline ecosystems and risks to life and limb of those performing the extraction. The environmental consequences of an oil spill can be more severe underwater than on land because sea currents can quickly disperse the oil over a large area and, thus, cleanup can be problematic. Bolted connections are an integral feature of deep-water well operations. High-Performance Bolting Technology for Offshore Oil and Natural Gas Operations summarizes strategies for improving the reliability of fasteners used in offshore oil exploration equipment, as well as best practices from other industrial sectors. It focuses on critical boltingâ€"bolts, studs, nuts, and fasteners used on critical connections.

Download or read book Probabilistic Modeling and Bayesian Inference of Metalloss Corrosion with Application in Reliability Analysis for Energy Pipelines written by Hao Qin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stochastic process-based models are developed to characterize the generation and growth of metal-loss corrosion defects on oil and gas steel pipelines. The generation of corrosion defects over time is characterized by the non-homogenous Poisson process, and the growth of depths of individual defects is modeled by the non-homogenous gamma process (NHGP). The defect generation and growth models are formulated in a hierarchical Bayesian framework, whereby the parameters of the models are evaluated from the in-line inspection (ILI) data through the Bayesian updating by accounting for the probability of detection (POD) and measurement errors associated with the ILI data. The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation in conjunction with the data augmentation (DA) technique is employed to carry out the Bayesian updating. Numerical examples that involve both the simulated and actual ILI data are used to validate the proposed Bayesian formulation and illustrate the application of the methodology. A simple Monte Carlo simulation-based methodology is further developed to evaluate the time-dependent system reliability of corroding pipelines in terms of three distinctive failure modes, namely small leak, large leak and rupture, by incorporating the corrosion models evaluated from the Bayesian updating methodology. An example that involves three sets of ILI data for a pipe joint in a natural gas pipeline located in Alberta is used to illustrate the proposed methodology. The results of the reliability analysis indicate that ignoring generation of new defects in the reliability analysis leads to underestimations of the probabilities of small leak, large leak and rupture. The generation of new defects has the largest impact on the probability of small leak.

Download or read book Bayesian Modeling of Pitting Corrosion in Steam Generators written by Dan Mao and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steam generators in nuclear power plants experienced varying degrees of under-deposit pitting corrosion. A probabilistic model to accurately predict pitting corrosion is necessary for effective life-cycle management of steam generators. This thesis presents an advanced probabilistic model of pitting corrosion characterizing the inherent randomness of the pitting process and measurement uncertainties of the in-service inspection (ISI) data obtained from eddy current (EC) inspections. A Bayesian method is developed for estimating the model parameters. The proposed model is able to estimate the number of actual pits, the actual pit depth as well as the maximum pit depth, which is the main interest of the pitting corrosion model. A MATLAB program of the Markov chain Monte Carlo technique is developed to perform the Bayesian estimations. Simulation experiments are performed to check the behavior of the Bayesian method. Results show that the MCMC algorithm is an effective way to estimate the model parameters. Also, the effectiveness and efficiency of Bayesian modeling are validated. A comprehensive case study is also presented on the in-service inspection data of pitting corrosion in a steam generator unit. The Weibull distribution is found to be an appropriate probability distribution for modeling the actual pit depth in steam generators.
