This article surveys the application of gamma processes in maintenance. Since the
introduction of the gamma process in the area of reliability in 1975, it has been increasingly …

In comparison with the well‐researched field of analysis and design of structural systems,
the life‐cycle performance prediction of these systems under no maintenance as well as …

A predictive-maintenance structure for a gradually deteriorating single-unit system
(continuous time/continuous state) is presented in this paper. The proposed decision model …

We focus on the analytical modeling of a condition-based inspection/replacement policy for
a stochastically and continuously deteriorating single-unit system. We consider both the …

In the evaluation of structural reliability, a failure is defined as the event in which stress
exceeds a resistance that is liable to deterioration. This paper presents a method to combine …

The process industry is increasingly making use of Risk Based Inspection (RBI) techniques
to develop cost and/or safety optimal inspection plans. This paper proposes an adaptive …

This paper studies a condition‐based maintenance policy for a repairable system subject to
a continuous‐state gradual deterioration monitored by sequential non‐periodic inspections …

To prevent the southwest of The Netherlands from flooding, the Eastern-Scheldt storm-surge
barrier was constructed, has to be inspected and, when necessary, repaired. Therefore, one …

Climate change requires reconsideration of flood risk management strategies. Cost-benefit
analysis (CBA), an economic decision-support tool, has been widely applied to assess these …

Sea-level rise poses considerable risks to coastal communities, ecosystems, and
infrastructure. Decision makers are faced with uncertain sea-level projections when …
