Component Importance Measures for Components With Multiple Dependent Competing Degradation Processes and Subject to Maintenance

Reliability Estimation and Preventive Maintenance for Complex Multi-component Systems Subject to Multiple Dependent Competing Failure Processes

Some complex systems experience multiple dependent competing failure processes, and many traditional approaches to reliability are inadequate or inappropriate because there are two or more dependent/correlated failure processes and multiple components subject to failure. A typical design example representative of these systems is Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems. The dependency among the failure...

Modeling age-based maintenance strategies with minimal repairs for systems subject to competing failure modes due to degradation and shocks

This paper deals with maintenance strategies with minimal repairs for single-unit repairable systems which are subject to competing and dependent failures due to degradation and traumatic shocks. The main aims are to study different approaches for making a minimal repair decision (i.e. time-based or condition-based) which is a possible corrective maintenance action under the occurrence of shock...

Modelling maintenance for components under competing risk

In this paper we investigate the mathematical modelling of imperfect maintenance of a system under competing risk The model we propose is strongly motivated by Brown Proschan s imperfect repair model but extended to model preventive maintenance as one of several competing risks Parameter estimation in the model is based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation The method is tested using a real li...
