This work proposes a framework for analysing reliability and optimizing maintenance in a system subject to multiple degradation processes. Unlike models that assume perfect maintenance, this study incorporates an imperfect maintenance mechanism with diminishing efficiency, where the ability to reduce accumulated degradation decreases with each successive maintenance intervention.

Industrial systems composed of multiple interacting components are often exposed to external events that can simultaneously affect several parts of the system. Such events, commonly referred to as common shocks, introduce strong dependence between component failures and significantly complicate maintenance planning. When multiple components fail at once, the system may experience large...
Degradation modelling based on stochastic processes has become a key tool in reliability analysis and condition-based maintenance of engineering systems. While a large body of literature addresses single-component systems, many practical assets consist of multiple components whose degradation processes are influenced by common environmental or operational factors. In such systems, component...
