Study of Materials’ Impact Properties for Arctic Marine Structures
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-12)It is well understood that sea ice is one of the biggest problems for the safety and reliability of ships and marine structures operating in the Arctic. Specially designed ships, also known as ‘icebreakers’, are usually used to clear ice to make way for merchant and cruise ships. Even then, the ship’s staff must be extremely careful with speed and steering. Heavy impacts of ice result in fatigue and ... -
Study of Ice Adhesion Behavior of SK One Component Polyurethane
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-12)Ice adhesion causes many serious problems such as aircraft accidents, navigational issues on ships, and power loss on wind turbines. These challenges are mainly associated with the acute behavior of ice adhesion. The ice adheres when water seeps into the microscopic pores of the material substrate and freezes, thereby, forming an interlocking mechanism. Therefore, surface roughness has a significant ... -

Reliability modelling on two-dimensional life data using bivariate weibull distribution: with case study of truck in mines
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)An engineering system can exhibit two- or multi-dimensions in its lifetime. As the classical univariate distribution cannot model this multi-dimensional characteristic, it is necessary to extend it to multivariate distribution in order to capture the multi-dimensional characteristics. This paper proposes a bivariate Weibull distribution that combines two classical Weibull models by a common exponent. ... -
