In modern mining activities, mine productivity highly relies on the availability of high capacity machines. Reliability assessment of these machines has significant impact on understanding the failure behaviors, thus determining maintenance policies accordingly. Reliability analysis of complex systems, such as mining machinery, requires knowledge about failure behavior of their components for more accurate results. In order to combine the failure information of system components to analyze system reliability, there are various methods that can be utilized. Reliability block diagrams (RBD) and fault tree analysis (FTA) are two of the commonly used graphical methods in system reliability analysis. In this paper, general information on RBD and FTA is presented and reliability analysis of a sample system is conducted, utilizing both methods.

Reliability analysis for two draglines in Tunçbilek lignite mine Tuncay, Deniz; Demirel, Nuray; Department of Mining Engineering (2014) In modern mining activities, high-capacity complex machines are used and their availability plays a big role on the mine productivity. Draglines are one of the high capacity mining machines which result in decrease in production in case of failure or unavailability. This study aims to determine the effects of different components of two draglines (PAGE 736 and MARION 7820) to their availability and operability by choosing adequate reliability models and conducting fault tree analyses. Reliability analysis w...
DEVELOPMENT OF RELIABILITY-BASED MAINTENANCE POLICIES FOR HAUL TRUCKS IN A SURFACE MINE Sarıgül, Mert; Gölbaşı, Onur; Department of Mining Engineering (2022-9-2) The growing production market and the resultant increase in raw material requirements create pressure on mining companies to achieve production at a higher rate by keeping unit operating costs manageable. It is recognized that the performance of mining machinery, maintenance downtime profiles, and operating cost variations are the main parameters effective in the sustainability of machinery fleets. On this basis, developing robust and up-to-date maintenance policies regarding operation dynamics and fleet ma...
Reliability analysis of dragline using fault tree analysis Deniz, Tuncay; Demirel, Nuray (2017-06-01) Draglines, as massive and expensive stripping machines, are highly utilized in open cast mining to remove overburden. Reliabilities and availabilities of draglines play a critical role to sustain the continuity of overburden stripping and, hence, coal productions. Thorough understanding of the system and its components is required in order to accomplish high levels of availability and it can be achieved with an in depth reliability analysis. This study presents component-based reliability analysis of a walk...
Reliability of Dragline’s Subsystems Gölbaşı, Onur; Demirel, Nuray (null; 2013-04-19) Systems are functional mechanisms, intending to perform a specific task in a defined time period. During the operations of systems, it is encountered with the imperative shutdowns due to external and internal considerations. Retrospective data covering the causes of the shutdowns and their durations can help to predict the time-dependent reliability amounts of the system, detect the critical parts, and improve the maintenance and repair plans. Reliability analyses, especially common at the industries in nee...
Evaluation of photovoltaic systems for voltage quality Şengül, Deniz; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Because of the governmental incentives and developing photovoltaic technology, the distributed photovoltaic systems are populating rapidly in power systems. This rapid population brings with concerns about voltage quality of the power systems. This thesis aims to evaluate the effects of those plants to the voltage quality of power systems in terms of voltage regulation and flicker. The thesis develops a statistical analysis method by developing metrics for a photovoltaic power plant located in Ankara, using...
