Failure Analysis and Maintenance Planning for Repairable Deteriorating Structural Systems Subject to Imperfect Maintenance

ABSTRACT The analysis of a system that deteriorates under imperfect maintenance is essential in reliability engineering. Imperfect maintenance does not fully restore a system to its original condition, leading to complex degradation patterns. Statistical inference techniques allow for precise estimation of degradation parameters, maintenance effects, and failure probabilities. This study develops a framework to analyze repairable deteriorating systems using advanced probabilistic models and optimization techniques to enhance maintenance planning and failure mitigation.
