(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The dissertation presents a transmission network model suitable for use in multi-area reliability models which utilize a Monte Carlo simulation approach. The transmission network model utilizes the REI equivalent which ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Reliability plays a very important role in the overall performance of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). Failure of a single component can easily propagate downtime throughout the entire system, giving rise to inferior ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)Quality is defined not as what the supplier puts into the product but what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. Power quality problems present themselves in a variety of fashions, many of which cause process ...
-
(2012-11-12)Interest in evaluating the performance and safety of offshore oil and gas platforms has been expanding due to the growing world energy supply and recent offshore catastrophes. In order to accurately assess the reliability ...
-
(2020-04-23)As the global population reached more than 7.7 billion, the needs for better living conditions and industrialization have grown rapidly all over the world. As the result, the consumption of natural resources has risen ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)This research quantitatively examines the estimating accuracy of over 5000 standardized resource consuming activities from 39 software development projects of various size which were accomplished at the U.S. Air Force ...
-
(2012-02-14)Settlement of a structure is a matter of great concern. Both excessive and differential settlement can cause expensive damage to buildings and must be avoided. Most methods used to estimate settlement are both deterministic ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)As technologies continue advancing, semiconductor devices with dimensions in nanometers have entered all spheres of human life. This research deals with both the statistical aspect of reliability and some electrical aspect ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The increasing size and complexity of power systems, coupled with present day financial constraints have made the use of probabilistic methods and reliability indices a necessity in order to maintain the continuity and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Most of the reliability studies, both single and multi-area, ignore the effect of the energy limitations. The limitation on available energy for the generating units can, however, have a significant effect on system ...
-
(2016-01-12)Cyber-induced failures affect power system reliability and thus are important to be considered in composite system reliability evaluation. This dissertation extends the scope of bulk power system reliability modeling and ...
-
(2022-11-03)Plasma etching has been widely applied in fabrication processes of integrated circuits. However, the most popular interconnect material, copper, can hardly be dry-etched due to the low volatility of plasma-copper reaction ...
-
(2015-12-07)Solid-state drives (SSDs) are attractive storage components due to their many attractive properties, however, concerns about their reliability still remain and this delays the wider deployment of the SSDs. Many protection ...
-
(2013-02-05)This study proposes new methods for the reliability-based design of structural systems, with emphasis on offshore mooring systems. After a brief introduction to the mooring systems, two main objectives are discussed in ...
-
(2017-05-10)Corrosion-induced damage is a major source of deterioration in infrastructure and industrial systems such as bridges, offshore and onshore structures, and underground oil and gas pipelines. The uncertainty is pervasive in ...
-
(2018-08-02)The degradation of metallic systems under cyclic loading is prone to significant uncertainty. This uncertainty in turn affects the reliability in the prediction of residual lifetime and the subsequent decision regarding ...
-
(2017-07-27)Although hydrate formation phenomenon has been identified for many years, this is still one of the most challenging problems in oil & gas industry as they are associated with flow assurance problems and safety issues. ...
-
(2021-12-10)In this study we test whether different government expenditure innovation measures proposed in the literature are good proxies for government spending shocks. We compare five government spending shock measures: forecast ...
-
(2009-05-15)The objective of this study is to develop methodologies to estimate and predict the fragility of deteriorating reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, and to identify the effect of design and construction parameters on the ...
-
(2010-10-12)The demand for high performance microelectronic products drives the development of 3-D chip-stacking structure. By the introduction of through-silicon-via (TSV) into 3-D flip-chip packages, microelectronic performance is ...
