Optimal Inspection and Replacement Decisions for Multiple Failure Modes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cost functions, associated with the gamma process for modelling deterioration, are extended to include multiple failure modes. The application of these cost functions is demonstrated by an example in the process industry. We consider an elbow in a pipeline, which is susceptible to thinning due to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. The optimal inspection interval and replacement levels are determined graphically and the effect of data (un)availability on the result is discussed.

Optimal overhaul–replacement policy for a multi-degraded repairable system sold with warranty
In this research, we study an optimal overhaul–replacement policy of a multi-degraded repairable system sold with a free replacement warranty. In the proposed replacement policy, a maintenance action and failure are dependent on a system degradation level and the system age, and hence the replacement model will provide more effective maintenance decisions. Failure of the system is modeled using...

In this paper, optimization of periodic inspection interval for a two-component system with failure dependency is presented. Failure of the first component is soft, namely, it does not cause the system stop, but it increases the system operating costs. The second component’s failure is hard, i.e. as soon as it occurs, the system stops operating. Any failure of the second component increases the...

In this research, a model for optimal PM planning based on reliability is developed and solved for multi-component systems. In the proposed model, the type of PM actions for each inspection period is determined in such manner that the total weighted related costs are minimized while a minimum required system reliability is maintained. The planning horizon is divided into some inspections interv...
