Abstract [en]
Drilling rigs are widely used in mine development or construction and tunnel engineering projects. The rig consists of 12 subsystems in a series configuration and can be driven by diesel or electrical engines. This paper uses the Kamat-Riley (K-R) event-based Monte Carlo simulation method to perform reliability analysis of an underground mine drilling rig. For data analysis and to increase statistical accuracy, the paper discusses three case studies in an underground mine in Sweden. Researchers built a process to programme the simulation process and used MATLABTM software to run simulations. The results showed the simulation approach is applicable to the reliability analysis of this rig. Moreover, the reliability of all rigs reaches almost zero value after 50 h of operation. Finally, the differences between the reliability of the studied fleet of drilling rigs are a maximum 10 %. Therefore, all maintenance or spare part planning issues can be managed in a similar way

Note
Godkänd; 2016; Bibliografisk uppgift: Containing selected papers from the ICRESH-ARMS 2015 conference in Lulea, Sweden, collected by editors with years of experiences in Reliability and maintenance modeling, risk assessment, and asset management, this work maximizes reader insights into the current trends in Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) and Risk Management. Featuring a comprehensive analysis of the significance of the role of RAMS and Risk Management in the decision making process during the various phases of design, operation, maintenance, asset management and productivity in Industrial domains, these proceedings discuss key issues and challenges in the operation, maintenance and risk management of complex engineering systems and will serve as a valuable resource for those in the field. ; 20151223 (andbra)
