Life-cycle analysis is a systematic tool for efficient and
effective service life management of deteriorating structures. In
the last few decades, theoretical and practical approaches for
life-cycle performance and cost analysis have been developed
extensively due to increased demand on structural safety and
service life extension. This book presents the state-of-the-art in
life-cycle analysis and maintenance optimization for
fatigue-sensitive structures. Both theoretical background and
practical applications have been provided for academics, engineers
and researchers. Concepts and approaches of life-cycle performance
and cost analysis developed in recent decades are presented. The
major topics covered include (a) probabilistic concepts of
life-cycle performance and cost analysis, (b) inspection,
monitoring and maintenance for fatigue cracks, (c) estimation of
fatigue crack detection, (d) optimum inspection and monitoring
planning, (e) multi-objective life-cycle optimization, and (f)
decision making in life-cycle analysis. Life-cycle optimization
covered in the book considers probability of fatigue crack
detection, fatigue crack damage detection time, maintenance times,
probability of failure, service life and total life-cycle cost. For
the practical application and integration of recently developed
approaches for inspection and maintenance planning, efficient and
effective multi-objective optimization and decision making are
presented. This book will help engineers engaged in civil and
marine structures including students, researchers and practitioners
with reliable and cost-effective maintenance planning of
fatigue-sensitive structures, and to develop more advanced
approaches and techniques in the field of life-cycle maintenance
optimization and safety of structures under various aging and
deteriorating conditions. Key Features: Provides the
state-of-the-art in life-cycle cost analysis and optimization for
fatigue-sensitive structures Provides a solid foundation of
theoretical backgrounds and practical applications both for
academics and practicing engineers and researchers Covers
illustrative examples and recent development for optimum service
life management Deals with various structures such as bridges and
ships subjected to fatigue .
