Abstract Operation & maintenance (O&M) costs account for a large portion of total life cycle
cost for onshore wind energy, and the amount is estimated to be more for offshore wind …

Industrial production entails using numerous multi-component repairable systems (MCRS),
and the reliability of these systems is often affected by a varying level of degradation. To …

Scheduling maintenance tasks based on the deteriorating process has often been
established on degradation models. However, the formulas of the degradation processes …

Civil infrastructure is subjected to multiple deterioration processes (eg, gradual deterioration
and shock deterioration) caused by environmental exposure and extreme events during its …

A single component nonrepairable system suffering from both an internal stochastic
degradation process and external random shocks is investigated in this paper. More …

This paper develops maintenance policies for a system under condition monitoring. We
assume that a number of defects may develop and the degradation process of each defect …

This paper presents a life cycle cost model for systems subject to multiple dependent
degradation processes and environmental influence. Different from most existing studies …

Management of critical components in manufacturing systems aims at managing
components with very low reliability or the highest risk which can cause disruptions in …

With the sustainable development of urban transportation systems, the safety and economy
of subway trains have become important criteria. However, in the process of formulating the …

In reliability engineering, each component of the system, in addition to internal failures, is
usually subject to lethal external shocks. Usually, the random shocks are produced by a …
