On Robust Maintenance Scheduling of Fatigue-prone Structural Systems Considering Imprecise Probability

Crack propagation in metallic mechanical components subject to cyclic loading may lead to loss of serviceability or even collapse. Often, these undesirable events may be prevented by performing appropriate maintenance activities. Nonetheless, the scheduling of these activities is highly involved due...

Often, these undesirable events may be prevented by performing appropriate maintenance activities. Nonetheless, the scheduling of these activities is highly involved due to the inherent uncertainty associated with crack propagation. In this contribution, a framework for optimal scheduling of maintenance activities within the theory of imprecise probabilities is presented.
