Many of these failures can be caused by manufacturing defects and / or design procedure is inconsistent with a particular emphasis on areas disrupted the vessels. Sound emission data were collected on the actual ship and trends in the data were analyzed, resulting in a load standard and appraisal procedures (CARP, 1982). The concept was later developed into the ASME boiler and pressure vessel Code and is used today (ASME 2010a and 2010b). AE is still the preferred method assessment of a ship before, and also to evaluate the train services | BIO-INSPIRED COMPUTATIONAL ALGORITHMS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Edited by Shangce Gao Bio-Inspired Computational Algorithms and Their Applications Edited by Shangce Gao Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
