  2. Risk-based inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk-based_inspection

    RBI assists a company to select cost effective and appropriate maintenance and inspection tasks and techniques, to minimize efforts and cost, to shift from a reactive to a proactive maintenance regime, to produce an auditable system, to give an agreed-upon operating window, and to implement a risk management tool. The purposes of RBI include:

  3. Corrosion loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_loop

    Both terms “RBI Corrosion loops” or “RBI corrosion circuits” are generic terms used to indicate the systematization of piping systems into usable and understandable parts associated with corrosion. Systematized piping loops or circuits are systems used in Risk Based Inspection analysis to assess the likelihood and consequence of failure.

  4. Hemispherical resonator gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherical_resonator...

    The hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG), also called wine-glass gyroscope or mushroom gyro, is a compact, low-noise, high-performance angular rate or rotation sensor. An HRG is made using a thin solid-state hemispherical shell, anchored by a thick stem.

  5. Gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope

    Diagram of a gyro wheel. Reaction arrows about the output axis (blue) correspond to forces applied about the input axis (green), and vice versa. A gyroscope is an instrument, consisting of a wheel mounted into two or three gimbals providing pivoted supports, for allowing the wheel to rotate about a single axis. A set of three gimbals, one ...

  6. Ring laser gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_laser_gyroscope

    According to the Sagnac effect, rotation induces a small difference between the time it takes light to traverse the ring in the two directions.This introduces a tiny separation between the frequencies of the counter-propagating beams, a motion of the standing wave pattern within the ring, and thus a beat pattern when those two beams interfere outside the ring.

  7. Attitude and heading reference system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_and_heading...

    Garmin G1000 Primary Flight Display. An attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) consists of sensors on three axes that provide attitude information for aircraft, including roll, pitch, and yaw.

  8. Fibre-optic gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-optic_gyroscope

    The interference on a Sagnac interferometer is proportional to the enclosed area. A looped fibre-optic coil multiplies the effective area by the number of loops. A fibre-optic gyroscope (FOG) senses changes in orientation using the Sagnac effect, thus performing the function of a mechanical gyroscope.

  9. Vibrating structure gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrating_structure_gyroscope

    Consider two proof masses vibrating in plane (as in the MEMS gyro) at frequency . The Coriolis effect induces an acceleration on the proof masses equal to a c = 2 ( Ω × v ) {\displaystyle a_{\mathrm {c} }=2(\Omega \times v)} , where v {\displaystyle v} is a velocity and Ω {\displaystyle \Omega } is an angular rate of rotation.
