This paper proposes a replacement policy for a cumulative damage model where a unit suffers damage caused by both shocks and inspections, and fails when the total damage has exceeded a failure level. To detect such failure, a unit is inspected at periodic times kT(k = 1, 2, …), and is replaced by a new one at detection of failure or at time nT, whichever occurs first. The expected cost rate is derived, when shocks occur at a non-homogeneous Poisson process, and an optimal number n* which minimizes it is discussed. Numerical examples are finally given.

A comparison study in basic preventive replacement (PR) policies based on a cumulative damage model is done. Three well-known PR policies (time-based, shock number-based, cumulative damage-based policies) are considered and the expected cost rate is used as the objective function to determine the optimal policy. Each policy requires certain information in the cumulative damage model. We evaluate the expected values of information by numerical examples and investigate the effect of model parameters and cost terms on the optimal expected cost rate. A damage-based replacement policy with periodic inspection is also proposed and compared with the three PR policies by numerical examples.
