Offshore system safety and reliability considering microbial influenced multiple failure modes and their interdependencies

The stochastic nature of microbial corrosion creates spatial interdependencies among random corrosion parameters and their failure modes. These interdependencies need to be captured for robust offshore system reliability prediction considering complex multispecies biofilms. This research paper presents a hybrid methodology for the prediction of system reliability, considering multiple failure modes’ interdependencies. The methodology integrates...
