TL;DR: In this article, the failure rate of an offshore wind turbine gearbox based on the data available for similar, known onshore wind turbine systems is estimated and a reliability prediction method is illustrated stepwise to estimate the total failure rate.

TL;DR: In this article, the reliability of high-strength pipelines subjected to internal pressure by first-order reliability algorithms and Monte Carlo simulation methods is assessed and the uncertainty associated with model uncertainty factors is addressed and the best fitting distribution is identified.

TL;DR: The structural reliability of a pipe-in-pipe system operating in deep-waters under high internal pressure and high temperature is assessed and the effect of limit state variables on the probability of the PiP failure modes is assessed.

TL;DR: In this article, the uncertainties in the structural reliability levels of pipelines with active corrosion defects subjected to internal pressure were assessed by Monte Carlo simulation and a 3-parameter lognormal probability model was adopted to describe the uncertainty in the burst pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review, calibration and model uncertainty evaluation of a wide range of burst strength models available in the literature relative to a large sample of more than 240 tests of burst pressure covering a variety of steel grades is provided.
