Shinae Lee

Prof. Jinyong Yao

Please welcome new PhD-student Shinae Lee to our group. Shinae is a former student in international RAMS master program. She will introduce herself (approx. 10 min).

Besides, this academic year we have a new visiting scholar: Professor Jinyong Yao from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (Beihang University), China. He will introduce himself, the institute of Reliability and System Engineering of Beihang and its curriculum (approx.35 min). Do not hesitate to meet him up. Prof. Yao is very happy to talk with any of us.

We will also agree on the dates and content for the seminars this autumn.

Marta Bucelli 

Shengnan Wu

HyungJu Kim

Please welcome a new exchange PhD student Marta Bucelli (from Italy) to our group. She will introduce herself (approx.10 min)

In addition, one PostDoc and three of the PhD candidates in our group are going to present in PSAM / ESREL 2016. We may use two seminars to go through their topics and preferably collect some comments on the slides.

- Shengnan Wu: Reliability assessment for subsea HIPPS valves with partial stroke testing (ESREL presentation shengnan wu.pdf)

- HyungJu Kim: A Gap Analysis for Subsea Control and Safety Philosophies on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (PSAM13 Kim - 20160916.pdf)

Finally, we should discuss the list of candidate topics that professors can present for the following scientific seminars. 

Mario Marcondes Machado

Yun Zhang

Juntao Zhang

Mario is going to leave us in October. Before he leaves, he will present an overview of his research works done here and share with us his experiences living in Norway.

Continue trial presentations for ESREL 2016.

- Yun Zhang: Assessment of a condition-based maintenance policy for Subsea systems: A preliminary study (ESREL2016_Yun.pdf)

- Juntao Zhang: Using Bayesian Networks to quantify the reliability of a subsea system in the early design (Juntao zhang ESREL16 presentation.pdf)

Topic: Reliability Assessment of Complex Systems (Rauzy2016 - ESREL Keynote Tutorial.pdf)

This keynote presentation received good feedbacks at ESREL 2016, and Professor Antoine Rauzy would like to share with us the updated version at RAMS seminar.The whole presentation may be separated into several sessions through this semester.

This tutorial aims to present some important results and current challenges of reliability assessment of complex systems. The presentation focuses on issues related to models, modelling formalisms and assessment algorithms. It sketches a research and development program for the reliability engineering community.

This week the 1st part "The reliability assessment process" is presented.

No meeting this week.

Antoine will continue with his keynote presentation.

This week the 2nd part "Fundamental complexity results" is presented.

Antoine will continue with his keynote presentation.

The week the 3rd part "Model based system engineering" is presented.

Thor Myklebust is going to give a scientific talk about RAMS in Railway sector, including assessment. The topic is delimited to signaling systems (mainly SIL4). (01 TM RAMS assessor_assessment CSM_NoBo_DeBo og ISA v03f40.pdf)

Thor Myklebust is currently the Research manager/Business developer in Functional Safety in SINTEF ICT Norway. He is a Cand. Scient. Physics year 1980-1986 from Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He has experience in certification of products and systems since 1987. Myklebust has participated in several international committees since 1988. He is now a member of

• • safety (NEK/IEC 65),
  • IEC 61508 committee,
  • railway (NEK/CENELEC/TC 9) and
  • NB-rail (notified bodies) since 2007.

He is the chairman of NB-rail October 2014-October 2015. And he is the founder of SafeScrum.

Ass. Prof. Baoping Cai

Baoping Cai (City University of Hong Kong, China) will give a presentation about his research activities in the last decade.

He is the associate professor of China University of Petroleum and works as “Hong Kong Scholar” visiting researcher of City University of Hong Kong. He is the deputy director of experimental teaching center of mechanical engineering of China University of Petroleum, member of IEEE, and sensor member of Chinese mechanical engineering society. He has published more than 100 journal and conference papers, granted 35 China patents and 1 USA patent. He has published 3 monographs. In addition, he has finished 11 projects as PI, e.g. the national natural science foundation of China, the national high technology research and development program of China (863 Program) etc.

His research interests include reliability engineering, fault diagnosis, risk analysis, and Bayesian networks methodology and application. Currently, he is working on the Bayesian-network-based fault detection and diagnosis methodology and has developed two diagnosis systems for subsea blowout preventer and subsea Christmas tree system.TBA
