As the principal means of oil and natural gas transportation, oil and gas pipeline systems
suffer from common corrosion problems, accurate corrosion prediction of oil and gas …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to briefly summarize and review the theories and
methods of complex structures' dynamic reliability. Complex structures are usually …

Metaheuristic algorithms have been widely concerned by scholars because of their global
optimization ability that does not depend on gradient information. In this study, Water Cycle …

Purpose This study conducts a comparative study on the performance of reliability
assessment methods based on adaptive surrogate models to accurately assess the …

For the fatigue reliability analysis of aeroengine blade-disc systems, the traditional direct
integral modelling methods or separate independent modelling methods will lead to low …

Bridge suspenders with short length suffer from significant damage, usually following short
service life, heavy casualties and property losses. In this paper, damage in the short …

Purpose Mechanical products usually require deterministic finite element analysis in the
design phase to determine whether their structures meet the requirements. However …

Purpose Gas pipelines are facing serious risk because of the factors such as long service
life, complex working condition and most importantly, corrosion. As one of the main failure …

This study presents a fatigue reliability assessment of a vehicle coil spring based on random
road load conditions for fatigue life characterisation. Fatigue life data characterisation was …

Thermo-mechanical controlled processing (TMCP) is employed to obtain the required level
of mechanical properties of contemporary HSLA steel plates utilized for gas and oil pipeline …
