Analysis of Safety Requirements for Large Offshore Units Evacuation Systems. LSA safety function
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2012, Vol 24, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper presents the problems related to the effectiveness of evacuation systems for large offshore installations. The analysis of safety requirements related to the complex evacuation, escape and rescue (EER) system elements has been carried out on the basis of the reports from the accidents of offshore drilling and production platforms. The safety function developed for life saving appliances (LSA) – the 6, 10 and 20 persons liferafts is presented as an example of a method for life saving appliances safety assessment.

A general iterative solver for unbalanced inconsistent transportation problems
The transportation problem, as a particular case of a linear programme, has probably the highest relative frequency with which appears in applications. At least in its classical formulation, it involves demands and suppl...
Nonlinearity and Intermodulation Phenomena Tracking as a Method for Detecting Early Stages of Gear Failures
An understanding of vibroacoustic signal is required for the robust and more effective detection of early stage gear failure. In the paper the possibility and method of time varying vibration decomposition are discussed....
