A warming climate is associated with increasing hydroclimatic extremes, which are often
interconnected through complex processes, prompting their concurrence and/or succession …

The second law of thermodynamics implies that any animate and inanimate systems
degrade and inevitably stops functioning. It is irreversible over time that can be labeled as …

Flood control schemes and the scale of drainage facilities are closely related to the
occurrence of rainstorms and the tide level of an outer river, so it is necessary to study the …

In the business-to-consumer context, eg, the automobile industry, preventive maintenance
(PM) of warranted items usually relies upon customers to return their items to authorized …

In practice, customers can decide whether to buy an extended warranty or not, at the time of
item sale or at the end of the basic warranty. In this paper, by taking into account the …

Multivariate descriptions of ocean parameters are quite important for the design and risk
assessment of offshore engineering applications. A reliable and realistic statistical …

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) detects early signs of failure and dictates when
maintenance should be performed based on the actual condition of a system. In this paper …

For repairable items under the two-dimensional warranty, the manufacturer expenses
warranty costs for rectifying the failures occurring over the warranty coverage. Preventive …

Multivariate degradation processes have been observed in many engineering systems. Most
existing multivariate degradation modeling techniques, such as multivariate general path …

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