Modeling the impact of disassembly operations on the degradation process of multi-component systems
Résumé
Structural dependence between components within industrial architecture implies that components structurally form a part, and the maintenance of a component requires disassembly of some other components in order to reach it. In that way, the disassembly operation for maintenance could have impacts on the degradation process of the disassembled components. The potential failure risk of these components will be underestimated if this impact is ignored. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of disassembly operation on the degradation of the concerned component. Then, a model is developed to integrate this impact in predicting the lifetime of the components. The proposed model is finally illustrated with a numerical example.
