This paper proposes state-dependent stochastic models (SDSMs) for modeling the impact of deterioration on the performance of engineering systems.
This paper presents a model of RC deterioration by coupling biodeterioration (i.e., chemical, physical and mechanical action of live organisms), steel corrosion, and concrete cracking.
After showing in the mammalian model that instead of deterioration of the mucociliary clearance mechanism there was a clear improvement in tracheal mucus clearance, we carried out an additional trial to assess the effect of those mucomodulators on cough and aerosol generation pattern in the same dog model.
The proposed model includes the effect of deterioration, maintenance actions, bridge failures, and rehabilitations.
Because gamma processes are well suited for modelling the temporal variability of deterioration, they have proven to be useful in determining optimal inspection and maintenance decisions.
To comprehend and model the fundamental mechanisms of deterioration of a catalytic surface, this study employed a molecular dynamics simulation of the effects of adsorbates on surface reactions and energy transfer.
Until recently all corrosion-related research assumed constant average climatic conditions for the development of deterioration models.
(2001) proposed an EOQ model with varying rate of deterioration and linear trend demand under permissible delay in payments.
In the context of deterioration models, preservation of common ageing properties for a fixed threshold has been studied, for instance, in [10] in a context of pure-jump processes.
Like its predecessor, the one-petaflop Road Runner supercomputer, Sequoia will be offered for general use to the scientific community for several months before it's put to use modeling the deterioration of America's nuclear weapons stockpile.
