9th WCEAM Research Papers: Volume 1 Proceedings of 2014 World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering)

Engineering asset management encompasses all types of engineered assets including built environment, infrastructure, plant, equipment, hardware systems and components. Following the release of ISO 5500x set of standards, the 9th WCEAM addresses the hugely important issue of what constitutes the body of knowledge in Engineering Asset Management. Topics discussed by Congress delegates are grouped into a number of tracks including strategies for investment and divestment of assets, operations and maintenance of assets, assessments of assets condition, risk and vulnerability, technologies and systems for management of asset, standards, education, training and certification. These proceedings include a sample of the wide range of topics presented during the 9th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management in Pretoria South Africa 28 ́ 31 October, 2014 and complements other emerging publications and standards that embrace the wide ranging issues concerning the management of engineered physical assets Front Matter....Pages i-xxii Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Market Risk Management in the Context of Engineering Asset Management....Pages 3-10 Application of a Performance-driven Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Evaluation Model for Physical Asset Management....Pages 11-23 Government Entity Contribution to an Effective Partnership Privatisation....Pages 25-37 Implications of Cadastral Systems on Engineering Asset Management....Pages 39-48 A Decision Support Framework for Prioritization of Engineering Asset Management Activities Under Uncertainty....Pages 49-60 Planning Rehabilitation Strategy of Sewer Asset Using Fast Messy Genetic Algorithm....Pages 61-71 Methods and Tools for Sustainable Manufacturing Networks—Results of a Case Study....Pages 73-86 Front Matter....Pages 87-87 A Modeling Approach for Infrastructure Evaluation from Customers’ Viewpoints: Using Sewer Systems as a Case Study....Pages 89-99 Lean Approaches in Asset Management Within the Mining Industry....Pages 101-118 Integrating Tacit Knowledge for Condition Assessment of Continuous Mining Machines....Pages 119-130 Extraction of Principal Components from Multiple Statistical Features for Slurry Pump Performance Degradation Assessment....Pages 131-141 Fault Detection of Wind Turbine Drivetrain Utilizing Power-Speed Characteristics....Pages 143-155 Maintenance Method Based on Risk Estimation for 170 kV Pneumatic Type Gas Insulated Switchgear....Pages 157-164 No Fault Found and Air Safety....Pages 165-174 Feature Extraction Based on Cyclic Adaptive Filter for Gearbox Fault Diagnosis....Pages 175-187 Bearing Replacement Interval Extension for Helicopters....Pages 189-201 Non-intrusive Diagnostic of Middle Bearing of Aircraft Engine....Pages 203-213 A Comparison Between Three Blade Tip Timing Algorithms for Estimating Synchronous Turbomachine Blade Vibration....Pages 215-225 Front Matter....Pages 227-227 Maintenance Analysis of a System with Varying Repair Rate and Vacation Period for the Repair Facility....Pages 229-238 A Signal Processing Approach to Overcome the Non-linearity Problem of Acoustic Emission Sensors....Pages 239-247 Front Matter....Pages 227-227 A New Method for Reliability Allocation: Critical Flow Method....Pages 249-261 Design Considerations for Engineering Asset Management Systems....Pages 263-271 Factors Influencing the Quality of Manually Acquired Asset Data....Pages 273-284 Potential for Local Government Entities to Use Mobile Devices to Record, Assess, Maintain, Utilize and Protect Their Municipal Infrastructure and Improve Their Disaster Management Capacity....Pages 285-297 Cyber-Physical Systems in Future Maintenance....Pages 299-305 An Investigation into Technology Advancement for Switchgear at a Processing Plant....Pages 307-319 Failure Statistics: Budgeting Preventative Maintenance Activities Using Forecasted Work Orders....Pages 321-337 Scheduled Shutdowns as an Incubator for Inefficiencies....Pages 339-347 Front Matter....Pages 349-349 Subsea Asset Maintenance on the NCS: On the Trends, Future Innovation, and Fitness of Life-of-Field....Pages 351-362 Research and Development: Driving Innovation in a Declining Mining Industry....Pages 363-377 The Role of Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Knowledge in Facilitating Service Led Design: A Nozzle Guide Vane Case Study....Pages 379-395 Identifying the Critical Success Factors for Engineering Asset Management Services—An Empirical Study....Pages 397-413 Risk-Based Approach to Maintenance Management Applied on Power Transformers....Pages 415-434 Human Resources Within ISO 55000—The Hidden Backbone to the Asset Management System....Pages 435-446
