Knowledge-based reliability assessments for time-varying climates

چکیده
A method of obtaining a set of closed-form solutions for reliability acceleration factors under time-varying temperature/humidity environments is presented. This paper outlines the procedure for generating such equations based on National Oceanographic andAtmospheric Administration climatic data. Results from Phoenix, Arizona are used as a case study. Predictions from these closed-form solutions are compared with traditional reliability assessments and exact solutions using raw ambient temperature and humidity values.

Reliability Analysis of Three Elements Series and Parallel Systems under Time-varying Fuzzy Failure Rate
Reliability is the most important performance issue in the engineering design process but in the real world problems, there are limitations for using the conventional reliability. Fuzzy logic has proved to be effective in expressing uncertainties in different fields, including reliability engineering. In this paper, For both the series and parallel systems composed of three identical or differe...
متن کاملApplicability of WBGT index in determining the allowable working time in hot climate conditions
Introduction: Heat stress is a critical problem in hot industries, especially in incredibly hot climates. It can greatly impair the work process and put the health of workers at risk. This study aims to investigate the applicability of the WBGT index in determining the allowable working time in very hot weather conditions in one of the steel industries in Ahvaz. Material and Methods: This stud...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Kalman Filter-Based Time-Varying Harmonics Analyzer
Nowadays with increasing use of numerous nonlinear loads, voltage and current harmonics in power systems are one of the most important problems power engineers encounter. Many of these nonlinear loads, because of their dynamic natures, inject time-varying harmonics into power system. Common techniques applied for harmonics measurement and assessment such as FFT have significant errors in presen...
متن کاملROBUST $H_{infty}$ CONTROL FOR T–S TIME-VARYING DELAY SYSTEMS WITH NORM BOUNDED UNCERTAINTY BASED ON LMI APPROACH
In this paper we consider the problem of delay-dependent robustH1 control for uncertain fuzzy systems with time-varying delay. The Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is used to describe such systems. Time-delay isassumed to have lower and upper bounds. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskiifunctional method, a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust $H_{infty}$controller is obtained. The fuzz...
متن کاملTest-retest reliability of Motricity Index strength assessments for lower extremity in post stroke hemiparesis
Background: The Motricity Index was used to measure strength in upper and lower extremities after stroke. The weighted score based on the ordinal 6 point scale of Medical Research Council was used to measure maximal isometric muscle strength. There is dearth of articles dealing with the reliability of this method. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the test retest reliability o...
