The knowledge and experience learnt from product designing have resulted in development of their reliability theory. The classical concept of safe – life is based on product over dimensioned design that considers safety factor or safety margin for measure. However, practical engineering has found this concept in a manner inconvenient as design fault-resistance to determine the ultimate condition and operating stress are random values. A way out is in the concept of stochastic approach to reliability design resulting from the defect-production probability distribution law. That concept allows product designing with predetermined reliability, such as in the example contained in this paper.

A component with multiple weak sites is widely used in practical engineering and the existence of multiple weak sites can significantly decrease the component reliability. On the other hand, only a few components bear static loading and most components bear dynamic loading. In this paper, a reliability model of isomorphic component with multiple weak sites is built based on an order statistics model and the influences of strength decentrality and loading decentrality on isomorphic component with multiple weak sites are discussed. Furthermore the influence of loading times is studied in detail. The results show that unlike a component with only one weak site, not only does the failure of a component with multiple weak sites have a relationship with the safety margin, but there also exist relationships with the number of weak sites, the loading roughness, and loading times. The work in this paper is of some guiding significance in reliability design and assessment of a component with multiple weak sites under complex loading.

In the analysis of engineering structures are usually adopt the method of fixed value, that is the practical engineering structure under load and the performance of materials used by structure shall be treated as a constant value.But, in fact, the structure of geometry size, bear the load, material parameters,computing model and so on are affected by various factors. In order to more accurately reflect the reliability problems of reinforced concrete structures, this paper, the factors above will be regarded as random variables, combining the basic theory of reliability design, through the probability analysis, in normal uselimit state reliability of reinforced concrete structures for example analysis of the influence of related parameters on the structural reliability.

In order to improve mechanism movement reliability of galting gun, through analyzing functions at different periods of mechanism movement course and basing on reliability, mechanism kinematics and movement error analysis theory, design variables which affect mechanism movement reliability are sampled according to distribution law. Using VC++ development environment and MFC class library’s supporting and putting parametric model into ADAMS software, mechanism movement characteristic at different design parameters is emulation calculated. According to emulation results mechanism movement reliability is estimated and all design parameters’ sensibility is analyzed, which realizes mechanism movement reliability analysis based on parametric model and provides a useful exploration for galting gun’s reliability design.

The covering pipe-ear is one of the important components of the overhead contact line system (OCS) for supporting loads. The finite element model of covering pipe-ear was established, as the pre-tightening force, wind load and ice load all have effect on it, the stress distribution law were simulated under 12 kinds of loading conditions. The results show that the pre-tightening force has remarkable influence on covering pipe-ear and 2500N pre-tightening force is appropriate for the aluminum alloy covering pipe-ear. It is useful for the catenary components static strength reliability design.

The gob of small colliery has been one of the main factors threatening the safe production of coal mine. The repeated mining working face in a certain mine is the practical engineering background in this paper to study the influence of gob in small colliery on the mining of lower layer. By using the numerical simulation software FLAC3D, the stress distribution law and the change of displacement during lower layer mining were analysed. It can be concluded from the analysis of field measurement data that: there is stress relief under the gob of small colliery because the distribution of coal is irregular resulting from the random distribution of gobs in small colliery, while the residual coal causes the effect of stress concentration on the lower layer mining; relatively large displacement appears in the caving zone of the upper layer by the roof of working face and the support should be strengthened appropriately during mining; meanwhile, the gob of small colliery can cause the nonuniform distance of periodic weighting in the roof, and segmented pressure behavior can be observed during the periodic weighting of the working face. Research results could provide some guidance to the safe and efficient production in repeated mining working face in the mining with similar conditions.

Reducing tower ground’s impulse grounding resistance can prevent the power lines from lightning effectively. The concept of impulse grounding resistance is described. Calculation formula of the impulse grounding resistance for ground electrode in different Conformations is derived with impulse coefficient method. The conformation of the ground electrode is improved according to the theory of impulse grounding resistance is decreased when the effective area of the electrode is reduced, using ETAP for simulation of the improved ground electrode. The results show that the impulse grounding resistance of the improved ground electrode can be reduced to 41.1% of the original, and safety margin is larger in practical engineering.

Flange is a common part in engineering, and it is tedious to build the 3D models of flanges repeatedly. Nowadays 3D modeling softwares are widely used in many engineering fields such as mining machinery, transportation and petrochemical. In practical engineering, it is necessary to compute the reliability of a flange. For these reasons a reliability design system of flange was developed with VC and Protoolkit. In this system, we only need to input several parameters to build a flange model and to compute its reliability. Also it is easy to determine the key sizes of a flange with an appointed reliability. The application of the software shown that using the software can improve the work efficiency and decrease the labor intensity of designers.
