RISUncertainty Quantification for Fatigue Life of Offshore Wind Turbine Structure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study aims to address the question: can the structural reliability of an offshore wind turbine (OWT) under fatigue loading conditions be predicted more consistently? To respond to that question this study addresses ...
Levelized Cost of Energy Assessment for Offshore Wind Farms—An Examination of Different Methodologies, Input Variables, and Uncertainty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Levelized cost of energy (LCoE) is the most common metric used in renewable energy assessments. However, this can be a very complex calculation with numerous methodologies depending on the perspective taken. Inputs including ...
Impact of Geotechnical Uncertainty on the Preliminary Design of Monopiles Supporting Offshore Wind Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The growing demand for clean renewable energy sources and the lack of suitable nearshore sites are moving the offshore wind industry toward developing larger wind turbines in deeper water locations further offshore. This ...
Harmonizing the Mooring System Reliability of Multiline Anchor Wind Farms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One of many barriers to the deployment of floating offshore wind turbines is the high cost of vessel time needed for soil investigations and anchor installation. A multiline anchor system is proposed in which multiple ...
Uncertainty in Wave Basin Testing of a Fixed Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This research presents a methodology for carrying out uncertainty analysis on measurements made during wave basin testing of an oscillating water column wave energy converter. Values are determined for type A and type B ...
Assessing Wear Evolutions in Railway Wheelsets Using a Survival Modeling Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper provides a method to predict maintenance needs for the railway wheelsets by modeling the wear out affecting the wheelsets during its life cycle using survival analysis. Wear variations of wheel profiles are ...
Targeted Reduction of p-Boxes in Risk Assessments With Mixed Aleatory and Epistemic Uncertainties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The treatment of uncertainty using extra-probabilistic approaches, like intervals or p-boxes, allows for a clear separation between epistemic uncertainty and randomness in the results of risk assessments. This can take the ...
Pelvic Response of a Total Human Body Finite Element Model During Simulated Injurious Under Body Blast Impacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in the increased exposure of military personnel to explosive threats. Combat-related pelvic fractures are a relatively new battlefield injury that poses a serious ...
Multi-Objective Optimization of Tree Trunk Axes in Glulam Beam Design Considering Fuzzy Probability-Based Random Fields
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Deterministic design and a priori parameters are used in traditional optimization approaches. The material characteristics of solid wood are not deterministic in reality. Hence, realistic optimization and simulation methods ...
Evidence Theory Representations for Properties Associated With Weak Link/Strong Link Systems, Part 3: Margins for Failure Time and Failure Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of evidence theory and associated cumulative plausibility functions (CPFs), cumulative belief functions (CBFs), cumulative distribution functions (CDFs), complementary cumulative plausibility functions (CCPFs), ...
