Complex systems usually fail due to competing failure modes caused by multiple
degradation processes (ie, soft failures) and random shocks (ie, hard failures). The …

This paper investigates reliability modeling for systems subject to dependent competing
risks considering the impact from a new generalized mixed shock model. Two dependent …

A single component nonrepairable system suffering from both an internal stochastic
degradation process and external random shocks is investigated in this paper. More …

Maintenance is generally assumed to play a positive role, however, in reality, it is also
common that maintenance actions have negative impacts. In this paper, a condition-based …

Devices usually fail due to multiple dependent competing failure processes resulting from
internal degradation and random shocks, whose behavior may vary in different …

Protective devices can reduce system failure risks by protecting systems from external
shocks and therefore play a critical role in the stable operations of safety–critical systems …

This paper develops a dynamic maintenance strategy for a system subject to aging and
degradation. The influence of degradation level and aging on system failure rate is modeled …

External shock process, known as the shot-noise process, will lead to the failure rate
increasing of systems operating under random environment. In this paper, assuming that …

Performance-based contracting motivates service providers to implement effective
maintenance policies so as to boost profits and improve system performance at a lower cost …

Condition‐based maintenance has been studied for managing the degradation of
components in a system. However, components in different positions may undergo different …
