PART –B
Ans:-
• The consequences that arise from unsatisfactory or improper maintenance cause further
disaster.
e.g. accident of aloha airlines , collapse of the mianus river bridge.
• Efficient use of funds towards maintenance is reduced.
• Time and schedule of maintenance period can result in down time of facility at its
critical need.
e.g. Dockyard.
3. What are different ways through which a statistical model can be developed?
Ans:-
Two different ways through which a statistical model can be developed:-
1.Learning under supervision deals with following :-
i) Response surface analysis
ii) Ficus discriminant
iii) Neural networks
iv) Generic algorithms
2.Learning under unmanned conditions deals with following :-
i) Control chart analysis
ii) Outlier detection
iii) Neural networks
iv) Hypothesis testing
4. Write short notes on DIC technique.
Ans:-
• The technique can be used for many tests including tensile, torsion, bending and
combined loading for both static and dynamics applications.
• The method can be applied from very small (micro) to large testing areas and the results
are readily comparable with FEA results or strain gauges
• This is useful to detect micro cracking in the chopped fibre –glass compressive parts .
• DIC shows principal strains in the damaged regions ,where cracks are formed.
• This method is useful to detect localized residual stress, which are caused in the material
on removal of load.
• DIC is used to determine displacement and strain fields for material undergoing motion
or deformation.
• This can also be used to track the strain variation that occurs under temperature
variations.
• Environmental variations
4) It can also come from probability density function (PDF) of specific probability
distributions. PDF can handle problems related to uncertainties using random theory.
one can choose specific type of distribution to include all possible values of variable.
