In this study, a real and significant industrial problem in a steam power plant was investigated. Reheater tubes in boilers are under the creep and the fireside corrosion mechanism that cause some of them to fail. Since the estimation of probability of failure (PoF) and remaining life (RL) is expensive and time consuming in the deterministic methods, in this work they were evaluated using struc...

Hybrid life cycle assessment (HLCA) strives to combine process-based (PLCA) and environmentally extended input–output (EEIO) analysis bridge gaps of both methodologies. The recent development HLCA databases constitutes a major step forward in achieving complete system coverage. Nevertheless, current applications still suffer from issues related incompleteness the inventory data gaps: (1) hybrid...

Remaining life assessment is an estimate of the reliability of a product in its life cycle application environment based on health monitoring and prognostics analyses. This paper reviews remaining life assessment methodologies that are currently employed for engineering products, and discusses their potential applicability to electronic systems. Based on this review, a generic ‘Health Status As...

This paper describes a method of performance evaluation and remaining life prediction for an aged reinforced concrete (RC) T-girder bridge by J-BMS RC version via close visual inspection data, and also verifies the assessment results obtained as outputs from the Bridge Rating Expert System (RC-BREX) which is a subsystem of the J-BMS, to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. The Bridge Manag...

The quality of lubricant oil plays a central role in the performance machineries. Aggressive working environment industry, particularly mining remains dominant point faster rate degradation. colossal consumption is factor to an inflated maintenance cost which can be averted by optimizing using scientific and methodical approaches. At present schedule drain-off interval accomplished at regular o...
