Modeling Remaining Useful Life Dynamics in Reliability Engineering [Paperback]

Modeling Remaining Useful Life Dynamics in Reliability Engineering applies traditional reliability engineering methods to Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), looking at Remaining Useful Life (RUL) and predictive maintenance to enable engineers to effectively and safely predict machinery lifespan.

A Review of?Modeling Remaining Useful Life Dynamics in Reliability Engineering

Pierre Dersin

CRC Press, 2023

?In my opinion, this is a very important addition to our reliability engineering technology.? It provides a comprehensive and definitive treatment of the modeling of remaining asset life.? More significantly, the construction is new, insightful and broadly applicable.? This book should become a part of every reliability engineers reference library.

??????????? The key and very significant contribution of the text is that the author shows that the remaining useful life of an asset can be modeled using a linear or a piecewise linear function of time or in some cases of a transformed time scale.? The author specifically shows that this feature of the residual life occurs in all of the most commonly used probability models of life duration.? He shows that the (piecewise) linear relationship occurs for exponential, uniform, Dirac, Weibull, Lognormal, Pareto and Gamma life distributions and alsolƒ%
