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 …

This paper considers a condition-based maintenance model for continuously degrading
systems under continuous monitoring. After maintenance, the states of the system are …

This paper deals with a continuously deteriorating system which is inspected at random
times sequentially chosen by help of a maintenance scheduling function. The deterioration …

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 …

The purpose of this paper is to describe and compare two maintenance models for
deteriorating civil infrastructures that can be used to insure an adequate level of reliability at …

Nonlinear degradation trajectories are encountered frequently, and not all of them evolve
homogeneously in practical systems. To take nonlinearity, heterogeneity, and the entire …
