Failure analysis and lifetime assessment of drilling systems are very important to reduce
maintenance costs. Of all the failure modes, coupled vibration due to the stick–slip …

Abstract The Cap-D**et thermal power plant is a 1872-megawatt (MW) gas power plant
located in D**et in Algeria. The steam turbine is an important strategic machine in this plant …

Maintenance of solar tower power plants (STPP) is very important to ensure production
continuity. However, random and non-optimal maintenance can increase the intervention …

Much attention has been paid to concentrating solar power technologies (CSP) in the last
two decades. Among the CSP that have been developed so far are the parabolic trough, the …

Composite pressure tanks have received increased attention across a number of civilian
applications due to their lightweight and high strength. Traditionally, the design of composite …

Late detection of cracks can lead to serious failures and damages of drilling components,
especially drill pipes and drill bits. Currently, the widely used method of repairing rotary …

This paper proposes a multi-state reliability evaluation model for the concentrated solar
power (CSP) plant considering partial function failure. Firstly, the component functions and …

Although composite hydrogen tanks are becoming increasingly intriguing, a detailed
structural reliability analysis is still lacking. The current landscape of analysis for pressurised …

Although composite high-pressure tanks are a subject of growing interest, especially for
hydrogen storage applications, a detailed structural reliability analysis still needs to be …

This paper aims to investigate and analyze the effect of uncertainties and fluctuations on the
structural reliability of filament wound cylindrical composite gas storage tank using Monte …
