Repairable System Reliability: Recent Developments in CBM Optimization

چکیده
This paper presents some developed and implemented theory which can be applied to optimization of condition-based maintenance decisions within the context of physical asset management. We examine a replacement problem for a system subject to stochastic deterioration. In particular, the analysis of a preventive replacement policy of the control-limit type for a system subject to inspections at discrete points of time is presented. Cox’s Proportional Hazards Model with Weibull baseline hazard function and time dependent stochastic covariates, reflecting the item’s condition, is used to describe the hazard rate of the system. Statistical results are then blended with economic or performance considerations to establish long-run optimal maintenance strategies. The structure of the decision-making software EXAKTTM is presented, and recently added optimization and prognostic capabilities are described.

A Hybrid Fire Fly and Differential Evolution Algorithm for Optimization of a Mixed Repairable and Non-Repairable System Reliability Problem
In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic approach is proposed to optimize the mathematical model of a system with mixed repairable and non-repairable components. In this system, repairable and non-repairable components are connected in series. Redundant components and preventive maintenance strategies are applied for non-repairable and repairable components, respectively. The problem is formulate...

In this investigation, the explicit expressions for reliability function and mean time to failure (MTTF) of a repairable system with provision of spares and removable multi-repair facility have been established. In removable repairmen strategy, the repairmen turn on when there are N or more than N failed units and turn-off when system is empty. The failure times of operating/spare units and rep...

Redundancy allocation problem is one of the most important problem in Reliability area. In this problem the reliability and availability of the systems maximized via allocating redundant components to sub-systems. a systems operates normally in its operational mode but fails in either opened or shorted modes. this paper presents a repairable k_out_of_n systems network model with common cause fa...
متن کاملReliability Analysis of Redundant Repairable System with Degraded Failure
This investigation deals with the transient analysis of the machine repair system consisting of M-operating units operating under the care of single repairman. To improve the system reliability/availability, Y warm standby and S cold standby units are provided to replace the failed units. In case when all spares are being used, the failure of units occurs in degraded fashion. In such situation ...
