  • Abstract
    The authors apply periodic replacement with minimal repair at failure to cumulative damage models: a unit is replaced at time T , at shock N, or at damage Z and undergoes minimal repair between replacements. The mean cost-rate is obtained, and each optimal T*, N*, and Z* to minimize the cost-rate is discussed. A numerical example is given for an exponential case
