Garbatov, Y. and Guedes Soares, C. (2009), "Structural maintenance planning based on historical data of corroded deck plates of tankers", Reliability Engineering and System Safety, Vol. 94, pp. 1806-1817

A probabilistic maintenance and repair analysis of tanker deck plates subjected to general corrosion wastage is presented. The decisions about when to perform maintenance and repair on the structure are studied. Different practical scenarios are analyzed and optimum repair times are proposed. Based on statistical analysis operational data using the Weibull model and some assumptions about the inspection and time needed for repair. The total cost is calculated in normalized form.
