Risk-Based Predictive Maintenance for Safety-Critical Systems by Using Probabilistic Inference

Risk-based maintenance (RBM) aims to improve maintenance planning and decision making by reducing the probability and consequences of failure of equipment. A new predictive maintenance strategy that integrates dynamic evolution model and risk assessment is proposed which can be used to calculate the...
