  1. 1. The verification and validation of a probabilistic risk analysis method for road tunnels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Kim Genberg; Karin Sandin; [2020]
    Keywords : Tunnels; fire; evacuation; probabilistic risk analysis; QRA; verification and validation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a new probabilistic risk assessment tool for road tunnels has been verified and validated. The verification and validation were performed along with a literature review to find different key variables that affect the risk in a road tunnel and find out how these variables can be handled.

  3. 2. Evaluation of Epistemic Uncertainties in Probabilistic Risk Assessments : Philosophical Review of Epistemic Uncertainties in Probabilistic Risk Assessment Models Applied to Nuclear Power Plants - Fukushima Daiichi Accident as a Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Filosofi

    Author : Omed A. Rawandi; [2020]
    Keywords : Probabilistic Risk Assessment; PRA; Probabilistic Safety Assessment; PSA; Uncertainty; Epistemic Uncertainty;

    Abstract : Safety and risk assessment are key priorities for nuclear power plants. Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is a method for quantitative evaluation of accident risk, in particular severe nuclear core damage and the associated release of radioactive materials into the environment.

  4. 3. Reliability evaluation of power distribution systems considering electric vehicles and distributed generation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Kaiqing Qiu; [2020]
    Keywords : power system reliability; electric vehicle; distributed generation; Elsystemets tillförlitlighet; elfordon; distribuerad produktion;

    Abstract : As human society develops, there is an increasing demand for electricity. However, the reserves of fossil fuels on earth are limited and may run out in the foreseeable future. READ MORE

  5. 4. Probabilistic non-linear finite element analysis of concrete buttress dams

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Adrian Ulfberg; [2019]
    Keywords : ATENA; FREET; SARA; probabilistic; numerical; Kalhovd; FEA; FEM;

    Abstract : Assessment of concrete buttress dams today consists of using analytical methods to investigate the stability in different failure modes. However, they simplify the problem at hand and neglect certain important features linked to geometry and thus not truthfully appraise the structures real stability. READ MORE

  6. 5. Probabilistic Analysis of Brake Noise : A Hierarchical Multi-fidelity Statistical Approach

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Sreedhar Venkatesan; Hariprasad Banglore Hanumantha Raju; [2018]
    Keywords : Uncertainty and variability; probabilistic analysis; hierarchicalmultifidelity statistical approach; probability of design failure; creep groan;

    Abstract : Computer Aided Engineering driven analysis is gaining grounds in automotive industry. Prediction of brake noise using CAE techniques has become populardue to its overall low cost as compared to physical testing. READ MORE
