Analysis and prevention of equipment failures

Glavnyj mekhanik (Chief Mechanic), 2021
The Enterprise Asset Management Association (EAM Association) is pleased to announce the completion of the second book of the two-part edition on the methodology for managing equipment failures. While the first part dealt with the issues of investigation and accounting, the second, being its logical continuation, offers theoretical understanding and ...

Failure of Boilers and Related Equipment

2021
Abstract Failures in boilers and other equipment taking place in power plants that use steam as the working fluid are discussed in this article. The discussion is mainly concerned with failures in Rankine cycle systems that use fossil fuels as the primary heat source. The general procedure and techniques followed in failure investigation

Failures of Cranes and Lifting Equipment

2021
Abstract The types of metal components used in lifting equipment include gears, shafts, drums and sheaves, brakes, brake wheels, couplings, bearings, wheels, electrical switchgear, chains, wire rope, and hooks. This article primarily deals with many of these metal components of lifting equipment in three categories: cranes and bridges ...

Applications of Pattern Recognition to the Diagnosis of Equipment Failures

Pattern Recognition, 1973
The theory of a feature extraction method, called correspondence analysis, is given. It is applied to learning datas made of all available informations about a given type of equipment, as stored in a reliability and maintenance data bank.

Probability of Equipment Failure When Tolerances are Incorrect

Technometrics, 1972
This report describes an investigation of how errors in components of an assembly can affect its performance. In particular the report deals with the situation, uncommon in engineering practice, where the output tolerance of the assembly may be violated even though the tolerances on the components are all met. This situation is analyzed to estimate the

Failure of Electronic Equipment by Electromigration

CORROSION 2002, 2002
Abstract Electromigration (EM) is the mass transport of a metal due to the momentum transfer between conducting electrons and diffusing metal of the wire. Electrons flow through wires on a chip and collide with metal atoms producing a force on the atoms that causes the wires to break over the chips lifetime.

“Realisation of the becquerel”—reducing the impact of equipment failure

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2014
The goal of the CCRI(II) "Realisation of the becquerel" project is to design a reproducible radioactivity standard which will increase the robustness of the current international reference system for radioactivity measurements. Tests performed with a first prototype ionisation chamber of this project, built in 2005, are presented.

Zinc whiskers: hidden cause of equipment failure

IT Professional, 2004
If you manage a data center, especially one that sits on a raised floor, zinc whiskers might eventually have an impact on your operations. Zinc whiskers, as the name implies, are tiny hair-like filaments of zinc that actually grow from certain zinc-coated metal surfaces.

Analysing equipment failure rates

International Journal of Quality & Reliability Management, 1996
Reports on recent research at NORWEB, concerned with rationalizing the company′s equipment replacement policies which has focused on the failure rates of 11kV/415V pole mounted transformers. Results confirm that the Gumbel distribution provides a much more convincing statistical representation for these fault data than the usual Weibull option.
