Structural reliability engineering
Much of TWI's reliability engineering work lies in the technologies covered by separate pages, e.g. failure investigations, fitness for service assessment, mechanical testing. Other technologies covered by the section include:
- Reliability assessment
- Probabilistic fracture mechanics assessment
- Development of standards and procedures
Examples of these are shown below:
|
Reliability assessment
Rigid platform showing tie in lines and main lines within the structure's legs |
From a limited inspection all lines were assessed allowing recommendations to be made |
|
|
|
Probabilistic corrosion analysis of an entire sub-sea pipe system to determine remaining operational life |
Development of standards and procedures |
