Dynamic Analysis of Failures in Repairable Systems and Software

We consider systems in which loads, environmental stresses and other factors may vary over time. Some problems associated with prediction, monitoring and maintenance are discussed, with reference to the incorporation of time-varying factors and measures related to the condition of the system.
