These models have been proposed by Doyen （2005）, the failure process is simply Non Homogeneous Poisson Process （NHPP）. Our models are defined by reformulation of ARI and ARA ones using bathtub failure intensity. This form is presented like a superposition of two NHPP and Homogeneous Poisson Process （HPP）. Moreover, the particularity of this model allows taking account of system state improvement in time course. The maintenance effect is characterized by the change induced on the failure intensity before and after failure during degradation period. To simplify study, the asymptotic properties of failure process are derived. Then, the asymptotic normality of several maintenance efficiency estimators can be proved in the case where the failure process without maintenance is known. Practically, the coverage rate of the asymptotic confidence intervals issued from those estimators is studied.展开更多

The breathing zone is porous walls microtubes, with three different types of pores in its walls. Inside the microtubes there is water solution of sulfuric acid. The microtubes possess an external layer of extremely porous polymer hydrophobic agent. A Prussian Blue thin porous layer is over the selective membrane. Appropriate porous and tubular connecting elements close the fluid loop.
