Abstract:

<p>This thesis considers control of moored marine structures, referred to as position mooring. Moored marine structures can take on a number of different forms, and two applications are considered in this work, namely aquacultural farms and petroleum producing vessels. It is anticipated that future aquacultural farms will be significantly larger than the existing ones, and placed in much more exposed areas. Hence, there is a significant technology transfer potential between the two seemingly different fields of aquaculture and petroleum exploitation.</p><p>Today’s implemented state of the art

Abstract:

In general, because of the unpredictable nature of fire and the various uncertainties related, for example, to material properties at elevated temperature, the reliability of structural fire design can be justifiably questioned. In this project, a typical structural steel design for fire condition is assessed for its reliability. The assessment consists of estimating the probability of failure of structural steel elements exposed to a wide range of fully developed fires.

Abstract:

A simulation-based reliability analysis method is presented and evaluated. This method is intended for problems for which most probable point of failure (MPP) search-based methods fail or provide inaccurate results, and for which Monte Carlo simulation and its variants are too costly to apply. This may occur in the evaluation of complex engineering problems of low failure probability. The method used to address this problem is a variant of conditional expectation and works by sampling on the failure boundary without relying on the MPP. The effectiveness of the method is compared to a selection

Structural reliability technology provides analytical tools for management of uncertainty in all relevant design factors in structural and mechanical systems. Generally, the goal of analysis is to compute probabilities of failure in structural components or system having single or multiple failure mode. Alternately, modern optimization methods provide efficient numerical algorithms for locating optima, particularly in large-scale systems having prescribed deterministic constraints.

Reliability based design optimization(RBDO) is an approach for development of structural components which aims to minimizethe cost while constraining the probability of failure.

Abstract:

This thesis aims at developing new methodologies for the reliability analysis of structural systems with applications to offshore and aeronautical fields. In general, sructures of practical interest are complex redundant systems, in which more than one element is required to fail in order to have catastrophic failure. Moreover, ramdomness inherently exists in both material properties and external loads. As a result, complex structural systems are typically characterised by a huge number of possible failure sequences, of which only some are most likely to occour. Therefore, for an efficient ris

As a result, the impact of the time-variation of both structural performance and external load actions should be taken into account in structural reliability assessment und
