Abstract Based on a recently developed multi-scale fatigue-fracture-NDE reliability model for uncracked and cracked pipes (see Fong-Marcal-Rainsberger-Heckert-Filliben-Doctor-Finney, PVP2021-62169), we apply the same modeling technique to a comparative study of three approaches to fatigue-life...

... and subsequently, the deterministic model is converted into a probabilistic model where reliability is a tunable factor. A large number of Monte Carlo simulation are conducted to generate probabilistic creep deformation, minimum-creep-strain-rate (MCSR), and stress-rupture (SR) predictions. It is demonstrated...

The current work includes randomness in the critical design input parameters for LBB evaluation. Based on the result of this study reliability (or its compliment, probability...

... operation is calculated with the classic reliability model. The pressure fluctuation due to emergency pressure relief is calculated with a proven-in-use relief model. Necessary assumptions are made about the relief operation. It is concluded that 2 out of 5 (2005) emergency relief valves are sufficient...

... One solution to improve over margin design for piping is to apply reliability based approach. By applying limit state function method in design stage, safety margin can be expressed explicitly as reliability index. From practical point of view, however, it is rather complicated for designer...
