About this book

This book surveys the recent development of maintenance theory, advanced maintenance techniques with shock and damage models, and their applications in computer systems dealing with efficiency problems. It also equips readers to handle multiple maintenance, informs maintenance policies, and explores comparative methods for several different kinds of maintenance. Further, it discusses shock and damage modelling as an important failure mechanism for reliability systems, and extensively explores the degradation processes, failure modes, and maintenance characteristics of modern, highly complex systems, especially for some key mechanical systems designed for specific tasks.

Frontmatter
Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
We take the reliability systems with repairs as examples to introduce the following stochastic processes briefly [3, 23].
Xufeng Zhao, Toshio Nakagawa
Chapter 2. Standard Replacement Policies
Abstract
To begin with, this chapter gives three standard replacement models that have been obtained as basic replacement policies for an operating unit with shock and damage (Nakagawa Shock and damage models in reliability theory. Springer, London, [2].
Xufeng Zhao, Toshio Nakagawa
Chapter 3. Replacement Last Policies
Abstract
In theory, a new counter approach of whichever triggering event occurs last for the replacement policy with two PR scenarios should be considered rather than only the approach of whichever triggering event occurs first in Chap. 2 has been applied.
Xufeng Zhao, Toshio Nakagawa
Chapter 4. Replacement Overtime and Middle Policies
Abstract
Originally, replacement last was discussed to replace an operating unit without stopping successive working cycles by Zhao and Nakagawa (Eur J Oper Res 223:141–149, 2012, [7]); however, the approach of replacing over a planned measure, i.e., delaying replacement actions over the planned time T until the running works have been completed by Nakagawa (Advanced reliability models and maintenance policies. Springer, London, 2008, [30]), was provided as another choice to make replacement easier.
Xufeng Zhao, Toshio Nakagawa
Chapter 5. Replacement Policies with Repairs
Abstract
In real situation, the damaged unit has probabilities of minor failures (or malfunctions) at shock times, in which case, minimal repairs that cost less are always considered to resume quickly the operation of unit.
Xufeng Zhao, Toshio Nakagawa
Chapter 6. Replacement Policies with Maintenances
Abstract
Maintenance actions, such as preventive and corrective maintenances [1], minor and major maintenances [39], routine and non-routine maintenances [40, 41], etc., have been proposed in pairs in literatures.
Xufeng Zhao, Toshio Nakagawa
Chapter 7. Replacement Policies with Independent Damages
Abstract
In general, an operating unit degrades gradually with additive damage cumulated by shocks in a stochastic way.
Xufeng Zhao, Toshio Nakagawa
Chapter 8. Database Maintenance Models
Abstract
Database, a set of data and the way they are organized (Silberschatz et al. Database system concepts. McGraw-Hill Education, 2010, [51]), has now become the lifeblood for some organizations in this modern society.
Xufeng Zhao, Toshio Nakagawa
Chapter 9. Other Maintenance Models
Abstract
In order to conduct safe and economical maintenance strategy, modeling and analysis of the damage due to shocks in an analytical way plays an important role in reliability theory and engineering.
