Preventive Maintenance Interval Optimization for Continuous Multistate Systems

Preventive maintenance (PM), which is performed periodically on the system to lessen its failing probability, can effectively decrease the loss caused by the system breakdown or the performance degradation. The optimal PM interval has been well studied for both binary-state systems (BSSs) and discre...
