Spare parts inventory in a mine incorporates various mechanical to electrical equipment components that need to be available in case of any repair, preventive maintenance, and/or revision on equipment. These parts are generally stored at the mine sites under a specific policy in such a way that any equipment production delay due to unavailability of the spare part is mitigated or prevented. Scope of such a policy may consider i) frequencies of different failure modes, ii) their contributions to equipment downtime, iii) lead times and prices of spare parts, iv) administrative point of view, and v) risk appetite of the company. Since each part in an equipment holds changeable surviving and maintenance times with a random behavior, and lead times of spare parts variate according to their supplier service, it may be challenging to measure the effectiveness of an existing spare part policy and its effect on production loss. In this regard, this paper presents a simulation algorithm that is capable of measuring the negative addition of a spare part policy to the related mining production. A numeric example is also provided in the study for a quantitative verification.

A spare parts inventory optimization study in mining Şenses, Sena; Gölbaşı, Onur; Bakal, İsmail Serdar (2022-1-01) Spare parts inventory management is of vital importance in maintaining high equipment availability at minimum cost, especially for industries utilizing fully mechanized systems and aiming mass and continuous production such as mining. In this paper, it is intended to solve the spare parts inventory problem of a large-scale mining company operating in Turkey, by proposing a mathematical model to optimize the spare parts provisioning strategy in such a way that the total inventory related cost is minimized.

Effect of Prescribed Boundary Conditions on the Condenser Behavior of Grooved Heat Pipes Pourabdollah Vardin, Ali; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-2) Rapid enhancements in electronic microchips bring the need to design and manufacture advanced cooling devices which can operate effectively without external source. Passive heat exchangers like heat pipes can remove a remarkable amount of heat with the help of capillary action. The phase change process in heat pipes, which utilizes the latent heat energy, enables high heat transfer rate over small temperature differences. Although the physics of evaporation in grooved heat pipes is understood, and comparati...
Effect of welding parameters on the hot cracking behavior of 7039 aluminum - zinc alloy Akkuş, Mert; Gürbüz, Rıza; Batıgün, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010) 7039 aluminum alloys are widely being used in the aerospace, automotive and defense industries in which welding technique is used for their joining. The main problem encountered during the welding of 7039 aluminum alloy is hot cracking. The aim of this study is to understand the effect of welding parameters on the hot cracking behavior of 7039 aluminum alloy by using Modified Varestraint Test (MVT) with Gas Tunsgten Arc Welding (GTAW) technique. During tests, welding speed was selected as varying parameter,...
Analysis of Three Indoor Localization Technologies for Supporting Operations and Maintenance Field Tasks Taneja, Saurabh; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Akinci, Burcu; Garrett, James H.; Soibelman, Lucio; East, E. William (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-11-01) Locating building components that need to be worked on during maintenance tasks is critical for timely repair of the component and mitigation of the damage. The process of locating a component or a person in a facility is called indoor localization. The objective of this research study is to analyze the feasibility of three indoor localization technologies for supporting operations and maintenance (O&M) field tasks; namely, wireless local area network (WLAN), radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, and ...
Effect of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured 18Ni300 Maraging Steels Aydın, İbrahim; Yağmur, Aydın; Tirkeş, Süha; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2021-09-01) Recently, additive manufacturing of maraging steels has gained importance as an alternative to the traditional manufacturing techniques for aerospace components. In this study, various procedures were conducted to find optimum homogenization and aging treatment parameters for 18Ni300 parts that were additively manufactured via Selective Laser Melting (SLM).
