Uncertainty analysis and time-dependent reliability estimation for the
Abstract. The main shaft device (MSD) is a key component of the mine hoisting system. During lifting, vibration of the system will cause dynamic tension of wire rope at both ends, resulting in the complex stress state at the critical location of the MSD and thus considerably decreasing its service life.
