For the risk assessment of flood defense, a comprehensive understanding factors affecting dike failure is essential. Traditional methods are mostly based on experts’ experience and focus just one type mode defensive structures. The resources, including analytical non-analytical factors, were summarized firstly according to general dikes. uncertainty resources that affect safety can be quantifie...

A Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD), developed for rolling contact, was specifically formulated railway wheel steels. The FAD allows combining a multiaxial fatigue criterion with the linear elastic fracture mechanics concept; in particular, it used to assess failure wet related pressurization of fluid entrapped surface cracks. approach applied results previous bi-disc tests carried out on three ...

prevention of medication errors in neonatal intensive care units (nicus) is of paramount importance due to age-specific and physiological conditions of neonates. this study aimed to evaluate the risk of medication prescription and administration via failure mode and effects analysis (fmea), which was carried out at the research and medical teaching center of imam reza hospital in mashhad, iran....

An enhanced unfolding Inverse Finite Element Method (IFEM) has been used together with an extended strain-based forming limit diagram (EFLD) to develop a fast and reliable approach to predict the feasibility of the deep drawing process of a part and determining where the failure or defects can occur. In the developed unfolding IFEM, the meshed part is properly fold out on the flat sheet and tre...

This paper gives a practical systematic approach towards the maintenance procedure optimisation of critical industrial unit in operation, to improve its maintainability. The resolution maintainability challenge (Vibrating screen - VSU) was realised by performing two-phase analysis, encompassing criticality and assessment. assessment comprised failure investigation using fault tree analysis (FTA...

conclusions this study shows that an adequate nutritional support, in patients with severe burn injury, can improve sofa score. it is also more cost-effective, resulting in a shorter los in hospital. background severe burned patients developed metabolic imbalances and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (sirs), which can lead to malnutrition, impaired immunologic response, multiple organ fa...
