A New Ranking Method Approach for Decision Making in Maintenance Management
(Springer, 2013-09-19)
Decision making process in maintenance management produces a final choice. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is proposed as a graphical representation of logical relationships between the elements that comprise the decision making ...
Digital Filters for Maintenance Management
(InTech, 2011-04-11)
Faults in mechanisms must be detected quickly and reliably in order to avoid important losses. Detection systems should be developed to minimize maintenance costs and are generally based on consistent models, but as simple ...
Wavelet Transforms for Macro Fiber Composites Transducers
(Springer, 2012-09-26)
This paper presents a novel pattern recognition approach for a Non Destructive Test (NDT) for pipes. NDT is based on Macro Fibre Composites Transducers (MFC). The signals are analysed employing Wavelet Transforms (WT). WT ...
Introductory Chapter: An Overview to Maintenance Management
(IntechOpen, 2020)
The industry requires maintenance to ensure the correct operations of the
engines, components, structures, etc. Any failure, that is, termination of the
ability of an item to perform a required function, generates ...
Techno-Economical Advances for Maintenance Management of Concentrated Solar Power Plants
(2016-08-24)
Concentrated solar power (CSP) capacity has experimented a high grow- ing worldwide. Nowadays, CSP industry is focus on decrease the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs and to set the adequate non-destructive testing ...
Railroad inspection based on ACFM employing a non-uniform B-spline approach
(ELSEVIER, 2013-05)
The stresses sustained by rails have increased in recent years due to the use of higher train speeds and heavier axle loads. For this reason surface and near-surface defects generate by Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) have ...
Methods and Tools for the Operational Reliability Optimisation of Large-Scale Industrial Wind Turbines
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015-05-21)
Wind turbines (WT) maintenance management is in continuous development to improve the reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) of WTs, and to achieve time and cost reductions. The optimisation of the ...
A Condition Monitoring System for Blades of Wind Turbine Maintenance Management
(Springer Singapore, 2016-08-24)
Wind energy is one of the most competitive and efficient renewable en- ergy. It requires an efficient management system to reduce costs, predict failures and increase the production. The main objective of this paper is to ...
Pattern recognition by wavelet transforms using macro fibre composites transducers
(ELSEVIER, 2014-04)
This paper presents a novel pattern recognition approach for a non-destructive test based on macro fibre composite transducers applied in pipes. A fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) method is employed to extract relevant ...
A New Condition Monitoring Approach for Maintenance Management in Concentrate Solar Plants
(Springer, 2015-05-21)
The concentrated solar energy is one of the most important renewable energy source. It is crucial to ensure that the solar receivers work properly to avoid failures, and to increase the reliability, availability, safety ...
