Journal ArticleDOI
Rotating machinery prognostics: State of the art, challenges and opportunities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize and place these individual pieces of information in context, while identifying their merits and weaknesses, and discuss the identified challenges, and in doing so, alerts researchers to opportunities for conducting advanced research in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Damage initiation and propagation in hard rock during tunnelling and the influence of near-face stress rotation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the mechanisms that lead to in situ strength drop, from the upper bound defined by crack interaction and the lower bound limited by crack initiation, including the influence of tunnel-induced stress rotation on crack propagation, interaction and ultimately coalescence and failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategic dimensions of maintenance management
TL;DR: In this article, four strategic dimensions of maintenance management are identified, namely service delivery options, organization and work structuring, maintenance methodology and support systems, and the guidelines for selection of these alternatives, key decision areas in each of the four dimensions, as well as the critical success factors for the transformation process are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2003 Canadian Geotechnical Colloquium: Mechanistic interpretation and practical application of damage and spalling prediction criteria for deep tunnelling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used analytical and micromechanical tools to validate a simple empirical predictive model for tunnel spall initiation in hard-rock and granitoid or gneissic ground.
Book ChapterDOI
System health monitoring and prognostics — a review of current paradigms and practices
TL;DR: The most common maintenance and repair strategy is "fix it when it breaks" as discussed by the authors, which can provide relatively high equipment reliability, but it tends to do so at excessive cost (higher scheduled downtimes).
