A condition-based maintenance policy based on the reduction of age model

Rajinia, Khatereh; Razmkhah, Mostafa; Ahmadi, Jafar

2023 International Journal of Reliability and Safety

doi:10.1504/ijrs.2023.135673

A condition-based maintenance policy is proposed in which the degradation of an engineering system is measured at some predetermined inspection times. The gamma process is used to study the system degradation. Two levels of thresholds are considered to do imperfect and perfect repair actions. The...

Combined importance sampling and separable Monte Carlo: analytical variance estimator and applications to structural reliability

Capasso, Gabriele; Gogu, Christian; Bès, Christian; Navarro, Jean-Philippe; Kempeneers, Martin

2023 International Journal of Reliability and Safety

doi:10.1504/ijrs.2023.135679

In this paper, we derive a new analytical variance estimator for the probability of failure estimated by Separable Importance Sampling, allowing to analytically determine the number of samples required to reach a given coefficient of variation on the probability of failure. The proposed method...

Reliability analysis for bond stress of precast panel joints

Rekha, B.; Ravindra, R.

2023 International Journal of Reliability and Safety

doi:10.1504/ijrs.2023.135677

The complicated mechanical behaviour of joints and connections in precast constructions creates a significant amount of uncertainty. This study explores the dependability of precast joint bonding stress as a function of grout compressive strength, height and thickness of wall panels. The first...

Safety climate in university laboratories. Part I: model development and practical application

Jung, Anastasia; Meyer, Thierry

2023 International Journal of Reliability and Safety

doi:10.1504/ijrs.2023.135676

Safety climate assessment has become a regular practice for most organisations. However, it is often limited to questionnaires, providing only qualitative information. The indicator-based approach takes precedence over decision-making, and practical risk assessment tools are often quantitative....

Safety climate in university laboratories. Part II: a critical view on the role of safety education in academia

Jung, Anastasia; Meyer, Thierry

2023 International Journal of Reliability and Safety

doi:10.1504/ijrs.2023.135675

This paper explores safety climate as a phenomenon. Comparative analyses of the survey designed and distributed among European universities with a study published in 2013 demonstrating that safety climate studies targeting respondents with supervisory positions are not representative and create...

The influence of intercultural differences on the safety performance of Chinese international hydropower projects

Aboubakar, Bouba Oumarou

2023 International Journal of Reliability and Safety

doi:10.1504/ijrs.2023.135678

This study attempted to assess the influence of religion and beliefs, communication, demography and habits on safety motivation, behaviours and safety outcomes of workers. To achieve this, a structural equation model was designed in LISREL 8.8. After a consistency study on 566 workers' responses,...
