Reliability analysis of structural stainless steel design provisions

Structural Reliability Analysis of Corroded Steel Girder Bridge

The natural aging, environmental impact, and appropriate design are certainly playing a serious role in safety of the bridges function. The functional safety of bridge constitutes a prime element of the transportation system serving commuters, passengers and freight. According to Federal Highway Administration, the steel bridges share represents a large amount of the United States' bridges. In ...

Structural behavior of cold-formed stainless steel bolted connections

This paper presents a series of tests on cold-formed stainless steel bolted connections. The test specimens were fabricated from three different types of stainless steel, including austenitic stainless steel EN1.4301 (AISI 304) and EN1.4571 (AISI 316Ti having small amount of titanium) as well as lean duplex stainless steel EN1.4162 (AISI S32101). The material properties of the three types of st...

Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Stainless Steel Utensil Manufacturing Unit Using Fuzzy Reliability

PURPOSE: The purpose of present paper is to compute the fuzzy reliability of the stainless steel utensil manufacturing unit for the constant failure and repair rates. The effect of variations of fuzzy reliability with time and system coverage factor for a set of failure and repair rates is also studied. METHODOLOGY/APPROACHThe mathematical model of Stainless Steel Utensil Manufacturing Unit has...

Stainless Steel Type 316Ti

Allegheny Ludlum Type 316Ti (UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilized version of Type 316 molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. It is also known as DIN/EN designation No. 1.4571. The Type 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304. They also offer higher creep, stress-ru...
