Repair system options

bending, and torsion stresses should all be considered in the design of a repair system. For those systems whose loads are primarily hoop stress, uniaxial fabric is a good option for the repair. If the axial, bending, and torsional loads are 

The repair design engineer must also consider the expected lifespan of the repair. The American Society of Mechanical Engineer s Post Constraction Committee 2 (ASME s PCC-2) Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping qualification testing specifies 1000 h validation testing, but even this is relatively short compared to some

When this fracture repair system fails or is not expected to work, then an attempt must be made to induce bone regeneration for skeletal repair or reconstruction. The surgeon endeavors to make local skeletal conditions mimic those that the body would expect to encounter in a situation that requires fracture repair. In a very real sense, he or she tries to trick the body into initiating the fracture repair system. Current surgical options to accomplish this... 

In Windows 2000, if your system won t start and either Safe Mode or the Recovery Console hasn t helped, you may need to use the emergency repair disk option. Unlike previous versions of Windows, the Create Emergency Repair Disk option is part of the Windows 2000 backup program. This program includes a wizard to help you create a disk to repair your system. Then, like with Windows NT, you can start the machine with either the startup disks or Setup CD-ROM and use the ERD to restore the system files. 

This option helps you create an Emergency Repair Disk that you can use to repair and restart Windows if it is damaged. This option does not back up your tiles or programs, and it is not a replacement for regular backing up your system,... 

Alternatives other than rehabilitation and replacement such as abandonment of the pipe section with a bypass loop increasing the frequency of ILI enables greater accuracy in determining the point of failure for existing defects. Derating the pipe may extend the life of the pipe provided throughput requirements are met. For the replacement or repair option, it is generally necessary to have a loop system and allow for pressure restrictions or interruptible service to facilitate repairs. 

A system operates for 5,000 hours and then fails. The repair takes 100 hours to complete. Hence, the availability of the item is (4900/5000) or 98.0%. Management decides that they would like the availability figure to rise to 99.0%. There are two ways of doing this. The first option is to increase run times to 10,000 hours while maintaining the same 100-hour lost time for repairs. The second option is to reduce the repair time from 100 hours to 50 hours. Both approaches generate 99.0% availability. In practice, it may often turn out that it is much easier to improve repair times than to increase run times between failures. 

Figure 3 shows the occurrence of two faults, A and B, which occur at tA and ts respectively and have associated dispatch intervals that dictate the faults must be cleared from the system at t and t2 respectively. At t, if both faults are still present, A must be repaired in order to allow further dispatch. Fault B may be left in the system, allowing dispatch until t2, when B must be repaired or B could also be repaired at, alongside A. If this second option was taken, a single maintenance operation would then allow unlimited dispatch after t, before further faults occur or more maintenance is scheduled. 

The reason for choosing cathodic protection is almo.st always cost effectiveness. The cathodic protection system prevents corrosion acro.ss the vhole of the protected area of the structure, unlike localized patch repairs. If repeated cycles of patch repairs are too expensive or unacceptable, then a properly maintained cathodic protection will usually work out as more cost effective in the long term. If the structure only has a short-term future and patch repairing is acceptable and inexpensive, then cathodic protection is not usually a suitable option. 

Different repair options are suitable for different applications but these overlap to such an extent that a clear decision on technical or cost grounds is difficult. Equally, no one solution is universally applicable. Table 7.1 gives indications of the compatibilities of repair approaches based on the requirements of the different systems. Giving global information is difficult because there are different approaches in the USA and Europe to concrete repair.

A relatively simple coil system provides easy access for repair and. replacement, additional heating and diagnostics. A permanently accessible central hole introduces major options in the reactor engineering. 

The failure may be such that existing equipment can be used to compensate for or work around the failure, delaying maintenance until a scheduled shutdown occurs or until the mission is complete, while the system still operates, albeit with reduced performance. This is often an attractive option if some loss of performance can be tolerated until corrective action can be taken however, some limits will usually need to be set on the length of time that such reduced performance is allowed. (Note that this case is distinct from that of using compensation while a repair is made.)...
