Fall 2015
The interaction between operator input, machine and operating surface is highly complex and varied. Time based equipment evaluation metrics are limited in the type of information they can convey. A common alternative to time based evaluation is mechanical modeling, however; these models can be...

Fall 2015
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has become the most popular in situ method for recovering bitumen in Alberta, but it remains an operationally challenging process. A particular challenge is the maintenance of a liquid pool, or steam trap, around the production well to prevent the influx of...

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Ultrasonic Leakage Detection (ULD) as a maintenance and condition monitoring technique for freight rail airbrakes in cold weather conditions
DownloadSpring 2015
Freight rail airbrakes need improvement in reliability to reduce failures, which can lead to harm to the environment, loss of human life, and a negative impact on the economy. This research focuses on identifying the failures of airbrakes using a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) framework,...
