... how this effect can be accounted for in inspection planning. The effect of the temporal variability in corrosion on the reliability updating following inspections is investigated. It is observed that this is of relevance only for cases with very low numbers of expected realizations of the corrosion...

... concerning the correctness and consistency of uncertainty modeling applied in the most recent reliability updating analysis for structural requalification and inspection and maintenance planning. To this end an outline is given in regard to appropriate uncertainty treatment in the probabilistic modeling...

...Michael Havbro Faber; John D. Sørensen; Jesper Tychsen; Daniel Straub After a brief outline of the simplified and generic approach to reliability- and risk-based inspection planning, focus is set on a recent application of the methodology for the planning of in-service NDT inspections of fixed...

...Daniel Straub; Michael Havbro Faber Reliability and risk-based inspection planning (RBI) has been developed in the past for single structural details subject to fatigue, based on structural reliability analysis. This paper extends the methodology to systems with a stochastic dependency between...

...Jan Mathisen; Kjell Larsen The use of risk-based inspection planning for offshore structural components is becoming quite familiar. This paper describes an application of this technique to mooring chain. In many cases, the technique is based on probabilistic modelling of fatigue crack growth...

...Michael Havbro Faber; Daniel Straub; Jean Goyet Based on new methodological developments in the area of risk-based inspection planning (RBI) for structural components subject to fatigue degradation, the present paper presents a unified approach to risk-based inspection planning for offshore...
