Optimal maintenance decisions for deteriorating quoin blocks in miter gates subject to uncertainty in the condition rating protocol

Using Condition Index Inspection Results to Update the Reliability of Miter Gates for Navigation Locks

In an effort to ensure public safety, many civil engineering structures undergo various inspections to assess their condition or performance. Comprehensive procedures for using routine inspection data to update reliability assessments have not been developed. This paper illustrates how the Condition Index inspection data from a specific miter gate on a Corps of Engineers navigation lock can be ...

Adaptative maintenance policies for multi-component deteriorating systems subject evolving

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Joint optimal lot sizing and preventive maintenance policy for a production facility subject to condition monitoring

In this paper, we consider the joint optimization of economic manufacturing quantity (EMQ) and preventive maintenance (PM) policy for a production facility subject to deterioration and condition monitoring (CM). Unlike the previous joint models of EMQ and maintenance policy which used traditional maintenance approaches, we propose the proportional hazards model (PHM) to consider CM information ...

A Condition-based Preventive Maintenance Policy for Markov Deteriorating Systems

Abstract: A condition based preventive maintenance (CBPM) policy is proposed for a continuously operating device whose condition deteriorates with time in service. The model incorporates both deterioration and random failures. Deterioration is modeled as discrete states process. The system undergoes random inspections to know the condition, mean time between inspections are exponentially distri...
