• Replacement policies for periodic damage models 

      Zhao, Xufeng; Al-Khalifa, Khalifa N.; Hamouda, Abdel Magid; Nakagawa, Toshio ( International Society of Science and Applied Technologies , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      A new periodic damage model for preventive replacement policies is proposed in this paper, where the damage produced by shocks is only measured at periodic times, without considering the mathematical models of the stochastic ...
    • Three maintenances for age replacement policies 

      Zhao, Xufeng; Al-Khalifa, Khalifa N.; Qian, Cunhua; Nakagawa, Toshio ( International Society of Science and Applied Technologies , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      Preventive replacement policy conducted at a routine time T* has been surveyed extensively in literatures. Another two random replacement times Y1 and Y2 are jointly considered in this paper. We formulate the models of ...
    • Which replacement is better before or after a specified time for minimal repair models 

      Chen, Mingchih; Zhao, Xufeng; Nakagawa, Toshio ( International Society of Science and Applied Technologies , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      This paper compares the models of replacement first, replacement interval, replacement last and replacement overtime to decide which policy would be better before or after a specified time T in the viewpoint of cost saving. ...
