Maintenance combines various methods, tools, and techniques in a bid to reduce maintenance costs while increasing the reliability, availability, and security of equipment. Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is one such method, and prognostics forms a key element of a CBM program based on mathematical models for predicting remaining useful life (RUL). Prognostics and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) Estimation: Predicting with Confidence compares the techniques and models used to estimate the RUL of different assets, including a review of the relevant literature on prognostic techniques and their use in the industrial field. This book describes different approaches and prognosis methods for different assets backed up by appropriate case studies. FEATURES <ul> <li>Presents a compendium of RUL estimation methods and technologies used in predictive maintenance</li> <li>Describes different approaches and prognosis methods for different assets</li> <li>Includes a comprehensive compilation of methods from model-based and data-driven to hybrid</li> <li>Discusses the benchmarking of RUL estimation methods according to accuracy and uncertainty, depending on the target application, the type of asset, and the forecast performance expected</li> <li>Contains a toolset of methods and a way of deployment aimed at a versatile audience</li> </ul> This book is aimed at professionals, senior undergraduates, and graduate students in all interdisciplinary engineering streams that focus on prognosis and maintenance.

Maintenance Costs and Life Cycle Cost Analysis

Authors have attempted to create coherent chapters and sections on how the fundamentals of maintenance cost should be organized, to present them in a logical and sequential order. Necessarily, the text starts with importance of maintenance function in the organization and moves to life cycle cost (LCC) considerations followed by the budgeting constraints. In the process, they have intentionally postponed the discussion about intangible costs and downtime costs later on in the book mainly due to the controversial part of it when arguing with managers.\nThe book will be concluding with a short description of a number of sectors where maintenance cost is of critical importance. The goal is to train the readers for a deeper study and understanding of these elements for decision making in maintenance, more specifically in the context of asset management. This book is intended for managers, engineers, researchers, and practitioners, directly or indirectly involved in the area of maintenance. The book is focused to contribute towards better understanding of maintenance cost and use of this knowledge to improve the maintenance process.\nKey Features:\n• Emphasis on maintenance cost and life cycle cost especially under uncertainty.\n• Systematic approach of how cost models can be applied and used in the maintenance field.\n• Compiles and reviews existing maintenance cost models.\n• Consequential and direct costs considered.\n• Comparison of maintenance costs in different sectors, infrastructure, manufacturing, transport.

Industrial assets (such as railway lines, roads, pipelines) are usually huge, span long distances, and can be divided into clusters or segments that provide different levels of functionality subject to different loads, degradations and environmental conditions, and their efficient management is necessary. The aim of the book is to give comprehensive understanding about the use of autonomous vehicles (context of robotics) for the utilization of inspection and maintenance activities in industrial asset management in different accessibility and hazard levels. The usability of deploying inspection vehicles in an autonomous manner is explained with the emphasis on integrating the total process. Key Features <ul> <li>Aims for solutions for maintenance and inspection problems provided by robotics, drones, unmanned air vehicles and unmanned ground vehicles</li> <li>Discusses integration of autonomous vehicles for inspection and maintenance of industrial assets</li> <li>Covers the industrial approach to inspection needs and presents what is needed from the infrastructure end</li> <li>Presents the requirements for robot designers to design an autonomous inspection and maintenance system</li> <li>Includes practical case studies from industries</li> </ul>
