In this paper, a probabilistic- and finite element-based approach to evaluate and predict the lifetime performance of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges undergoing various maintenance actions is proposed with the time-variant system reliability being utilized as a performance indicator. Depending on their structural state during the degradation process, the classical maintenance actions for RC bridges are firstly categorized into four types: Preventive type I, Preventive type II, Strengthening and Replacement. Preventive type I is used to delay the onset of steel corrosion, Preventive type II can suppress the corrosion process of reinforcing steel, Strengthening is the application of various maintenance materials to improve the structural performance and Replacement is performed to restore the individual components or overall structure to their original conditions. The quantitative influence of these maintenance types on structural performance is investigated and the respective analysis modules are written and inputted into the computer program. Accordingly, the time-variant system reliability can be calculated by the use of Monte Carlo simulations and the updated the program. Finally, an existing RC continuous bridge located in Shanghai, China, is used as an illustrative example and the lifetime structural performance with and without each of the maintenance types are discussed. It is felt that the proposed approach can be applied to various RC bridges with different structural configurations, construction methods and environmental conditions.

Purpose: Military maintenance involves corrective and preventive actions carried out to keep a system in or restore it to a predetermined condition. This research develops an optimal maintenance cycle for aviation oil testing equipment with acceptable reliability level and minimum maintenance cost. Methods: The optimal maintenance policy in this research aims to satisfy the desired reliability level at the lowest cost. We assume that the failure process of equipment follows the power law non-homogeneous Poisson process model and the maintenance system is a minimal repair policy. Estimation and other statistical procedures (trend test and goodness of fit test) are given for this model. Results: With time varying failure rate, we developed reliability-based maintenance cost optimization model. This model will reduce the ownership cost through adopting a proactive reliability focused maintenance system. Conclusion: Based on the analysis, it is recommended to increase the current maintenance cycle by three times which is 0.5 year to 1.5 years. Because of the system's built-in self-checking features, it is not expected to have any problems of preventative maintenance cycle.

In order to do a maintenance task, a maintenance operator should learn the basic skills of the maintenance task such as assembly and disassembly (A/D). However, the key of the learning process is to learn the A/D task intuitively and naturally. Haptic guidance promises to give effectiveness and benefit qualitatively since a person can be trained to do the optimal task based on information that comes from an expert, database, or intelligent algorithms. By applying haptic guidance, a maintenance training process can be made more intuitive and natural in a virtual environment. This paper describes the development of a maintenance training system by using haptic guidance.

Traditional time based preventive maintenance is used to constant maintenance interval for equipment life. In order to consider economic aspect for time based preventive maintenance, preventive maintenance is scheduled by RCM(Reliability-Centered Maintenance) evaluation. So, Markov state model is utilized considering stochastic state in RCM. In this paper, a Markov state model which can be used for scheduling and optimization of maintenance is presented. The deterioration process of system condition is modeled by a Markov model. In case study, simulation results about RCM are used to the real historical data of combustion turbine generating units in Korean power systems.

The remote handling and maintenance devices in the nuclear hot ceil should be checked prior to the hot operation in view of reliability and operability. In this study, the digital mock-up is implemented to analyze and define the process equipment maintenance processes instead of real mock-up, which is very expensive and time consuming. To do this, the parts of equipment and maintenance devices are modeled in 3-D graphics, assembled, and kinematics is assigned. Also, the virtual workcell of the spent fuel management process is implemented in the graphical environment which is the same as the real environment. This simulator has the several functions for verification such as analyses for the manipulator's working area, the collision detection, the path planning and graphic simulation of the processes etc. This graphic simulator of the maintenance devices can be effectively used in designing of the maintenance processes for the hot cell equipment and enhance the reliability of the spent fuel management.

Machines and facilities are physically or chemically degenerated by continuous usage. The representative type of the degeneration is the wearing of tools, which results in the process mean shift. According to the increasing wear level, non-conforming products cost and quality loss cost are increasing simultaneously. Therefore, a preventive maintenance is necessary at some point. The problem of determining the maintenance period (or wear limit) which minimizes the total cost is called the 'process mean shift problem'. The total cost includes three items: maintenance cost (or adjustment cost), non-conforming cost due to the non-conforming products, and quality loss cost due to the difference between the process target value and the product characteristic value among the conforming products. In this study, we set the production volume as a decreasing function rather than a constant. Also we treat the process variance as a function to the increasing wear rather than a constant. To the quality loss function, we adopted the Cpm+, which is the left and right asymmetric process capability index based on the process target value. These can more reflect the production site. In this study, we presented a more extensive maintenance model compared to previous studies, by integrating the items mentioned above. The objective equation of this model is the total cost per unit wear. The determining variables are the wear limit and the initial process setting position that minimize the objective equation.

군의 정비체계에서 표준정비인시는 정비부대의 정비능력을 판단하는 도구로서 정비 소요와 작업량을 결정하는 기준을 제공하고, 정비계획 수립의 기초 자료로 활용된다. 군 주요 장비의 평시 표준정비인시는 이미 선정되어 활용하고 있으나 전시 정비환경에서 표준정비인시는 미선정되어 이를 산출할 필요성이 제기되었다. 이는 전시에 정비 시설, 공구, 장비, 인력 등이 충분치 않고, 정비 목표와 수준이 평시와는 상이하므로 평시 표준정비인시를 직접 적용하는 것은 적절하지 못하기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 전시 표준정비인시 산정을 위해 필요한 데이터를 수집·선별하는 과정과 기준을 제시하고, 표준정비인시 산출 프로세스에서 정비인시 분포의 특징을 분석하여 표준정비인시로서의 대푯값을 선정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제시되는 전시 정비인시 산출 프로세스는 먼저 전시 정비환경을 고려한 기준과 가정사항 등을 반영한 모델을 설계하고, 표준정비인시 도출의 통계적 기법을 결정하며, 전시와 유사한 환경의 평시 정비실적 데이터를 수집하여 기술통계 분석과 정비인시 분포를 추정 및 검증하고 최종적으로 대푯값을 제시하는 방법을 사용한다. 제안된 방법을 토대로 육군이 운용 중인 4개 주요 전투장비의 전시 표준정비인시를 도출하였으며, 해당 장비들의 정비인시 분포가 로그 정규분포를 따르고 있는 것으로 분석되어 신뢰성 있는 결과값을 제시하였다.

공동주택 유지관리 업무를 효율적으로 진행하기 위해서는 사후보전인 유지관리업무에서 벗어나 예방 차원의 관리체계로의 전환이 요구된다. 이를 위해서는 시설물의 점검 진단 교체 등의 일련의 작업을 시스템화 하는 것이 필요하며, 이보다 앞서 유지관리 업무의 표준화가 선행되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현행 공공임대주택 유지관리 업무의 문제점을 분석하고 체계적인 관리를 위해서 전문가와의 1:1면담을 통해 입주자, 관리사무소, 본사의 업무체계로 구분하고 BPMN(Business Process Modeling Notation) 방식을 이용하여 일반관리 시설물관리 수선 및 보수 장기수선 업무 프로세스로 구분하여 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 표준업무체계는 공동주택 관리 시 업무의 효율성 제고를 통해 생산성 향상을 도모하고 지속적인 데이터 관리를 기반으로 공정성 및 투명성을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 또한 공동주택 유지관리 비용 및 진단조치 관리를 위한 시스템 개발 시 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 향후 더욱 더 객관적이고 표준화된 업무체계를 제시하기 위해서는 현장적용 후 입주자, 관리사무소, 본사 의견 및 업무 흐름에 따라 생산성 데이터 분석을 통해 추가적인 개선작업이 진행되어야 할 것이다.
