Predictive Aircraft Maintenance: Modeling and Analysis Using Stochastic Petri Nets

Predictive aircraft maintenance is a complex process, which requires the modeling of the stochastic degradation of aircraft systems, as well as the dynamic interactions between the stakeholders involved. In this paper, we show that the stochastically and dynamically colored Petri nets (SDCPNs) are able to formalize the predictive aircraft...

Maintenance Scheduling in Power Electronic Converters Considering Wear-out Failures

Power electronic converters are one of failure sources in energy systems, and hence drivers of downtime costs in power systems. Different approaches can be employed for converter reliability enhancement including design/control for reliability methods, condition monitoring and fault diagnosis, and maintenance strategies. This paper proposes...
