    • Drone-based Bridge Inspection in Harsh Operating Environment: Risks and safeguards 

      Aliyari, Mostafa; Ashrafi, Behrooz; Ayele, Yonas Zewdu (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-30)
      The inability to effectively and systematically identify and measure the damage in bridges will lead to an acceleration and dangerous deterioration of the health state of these structures. To repair and replace the aging and damaged bridge infrastructures, and prevent catastrophic bridge collapse, there is an urgent need to develop reliable, innovative, and efficient approaches to the performance ...

    • Dynamic spare parts transportation model for Arctic production facility 

      Ayele, Yonas Zewdu; Barabadi, Abbas; Barabady, Javad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-14)
      Timely delivery of the required spare parts plays an important role in meeting the availability target and reducing the downtime of production facilities. Spare parts logistics is affected in complex ways while operating in the Arctic, since the area is sparsely populated and has insufficient infrastructure. It is also greatly affected by the distinctive operational environment of the region, ...

    • Hazards identification and risk assessment for UAV– assisted bridge inspections 

      Aliyari, Mostafa; Ashrafi, Behrooz; Ayele, Yonas Zewdu (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-07)
      Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technology has found its way into several civilian applications in the last 20 years, predominantly due to lower cost and tangible scientific improvements. In its application to structural bridge inspection, UAVs provide two main functions. The first, being the most common, detect damage through visual sensors. The 2 D image data can be used to quickly establish a basic ...

    • Human reliability assessment (HRA) in maintenance of production process: A case study 

      Aalipour, Mojgan; Ayele, Yonas Zewdu; Barabadi, Abbas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-02)
      Human reliability makes a considerable contribution to the maintenance performance, safety, and cost-efficiency of any production process. To improve human reliability, the causes of human errors should be identified and the probability of human errors should be quantified. Analysis of human error is very case-specific; the context of the field should be taken into account. The aim of this study is ...

    • Marketing structures and strategies of Nordic SME’s: A Norwegian case study 

      Ayele, Yonas Zewdu (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-10-10)

    • A methodology for identification of suitable drilling waste handling systems in the Arctic region 

      Ayele, Yonas Zewdu; Barabadi, Abbas; Barabady, Javad (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016)
      As the demands to reduce the environmental impact of oil and gas operations increase in the Arctic region, the need to identify suitable waste handling systems become more essential. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for identifying suitable drilling waste handling system, by considering the distinctive operating condition of the Arctic region. The proposed methodology can help the ...

    • A practical guideline for human error assessment: A causal model 

      Ayele, Yonas Zewdu; Barabadi, Abbas (Konferansebidrag; Conference object, 2017-12-12)
      To meet the availability target and reduce system downtime, effective maintenance have a great importance. However, maintenance performance is greatly affected in complex ways by human factors. Hence, to have an effective maintenance operation, these factors needs to be assessed and quantified. To avoid the inadequacies of traditional human error assessment (HEA) approaches, the application of ...

    • Preliminary Hazard Analysis for UAV-assisted Bridge Inspection 

      Ayele, Yonas Zewdu; Ashrafi, Behrooz (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has found its way into a number of civilian applications in the last 20 years, predominantly due to lower costs and tangible scientific improvements.

    • Spare Part Transportation Management in High North 

      Ayele, Yonas Zewdu; Barabadi, Abbas; Markeset, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The demanding physical conditions of the Arctic, remote location, and uncertainty regarding the travel time can both heighten the challenges related to transportation of spare part in the region. Managing to get the appropriate path for transportation of spare parts for oil and gas industries in the region, is one of the major and demanding tasks. In this paper we develop the concept of ...
