Failure Process Modeling for Systems with General Repairs

摘要

Many methods on modeling failure processes of repairable systems have been developed. Based on different assumptions on the repairs, the models can be classified into three categories: models for minimal repair, models for general repair and models for perfect repair. In this paper, we will discuss a log linear model based on the general repair assumption. This model is integrated with the Kijima virtual age model to consider the repair effect on failure intensity.
