First-order reliability methods (FORM) of structural reliability assessment allowed optimization of the thicknesses of fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) resin necessary for pipeline repair using a ...
ABSTRACT Reliability is an important engineering requirement for consistently delivering acceptable product performance through time. As time progresses, the product may fail due to time-dependent ...
Pipeline failure probabilities calculated by the Monte Carlo method are better than those given by the first-order reliability method (FORM) but have a longer calculation time. Pipeline failure ...
