On Procedures for Reliability Assessment of Mechanical Systems and Structures

In this paper a brief overview of methods to assess the reliability of mechanical systems and structures is given. A selection of computational procedures, stochastic structural dynamics, stochastic fatigue crack growth, and reliability based optimization are discussed. It is shown that reliability based methods may form the basis for a rational decision making.

Reliability of quantum-mechanical communication systems

We are concerned with the detection of a set of M messages that are transmitted over a channel disturbed by chaotic thermal noise when quantum effects in the communication systems are taken into account. Our attention was restricted to the special case in which the density operators specifying the states of the received field are commutative. From quantum-mechanical description of the noise and...

Mechanical and Chemical Reliability Assessment of Silica Optical Fibres

The current study has investigated the ageing phenomena of silica optical fibres in relation to water activity which might be accelerated when exposed to a supplementary energy, such as microwaves. A controlled stress by winding fibres onto accurate diameter mandrel was applied. Taking into account that normally a decrease in fibre strength is induced in time by chemical action of water, the ef...
