“…Identifying causes that could reduce the lifetime of equipment is an important stage in planning maintenance strategies, 21 especially concerning critical structures. Moreover, most of the structures in question support complex load conditions which are difficult to take into account during the design phase, such as undesired impacts and other such random events.…”

Structural railway transport elements are typically designed to work for at least 30 years without undergoing major maintenance. However, real-life operational conditions present behaviors different to the model predicted during the initial design phase, which affects the lifetime of the elements in question. This is the case of first-generation railway vehicles which operates in the city of Medellín, Colombia, as the bolster beam presented cracks after 12 years of operation, possibly due to undesired impacts between the bogie and the pivot of the bolster beam. Monitoring vibrational signals would give some sort of an insight into impact phenomena; however, herein lies the problem, as they are difficult to identify using only vibration signals, occurring during time events that take place in a speed-varying system. In this article, the authors present a technique that automatically detects impacts using multiple in-between time/ frequency representations, ranking them according to their capacity to discriminate between impact events. Our results show that the best representation for this data was the Fractional Cepstrum Transform at order 0.5 (auROC ¼ 0.961), which outperformed the best pure domain descriptor by least 4%.

“…Assuming the RUL would be known exactly, an asset could be exploited generating optimal value for its owner, without any increased failures or costs. Furthermore, knowing the processes or incidents that cause the end of the assets useful life would allow the owner to take preventive measures to extend the asset's life [3], [13]. However, there are some weaknesses related to current approaches to estimate asset RUL.…”

“…This is very much the case for infrastructures like roads, railways, electric power generation, transport, and aircrafts [2] but also involves production facilities. Many manufacturing plantsat least in Europehave been built in the years after the Second World War, and assets therein are currently approaching the end of their expected functional lives [3]. Ageing of asset systems is one of the reasons why physical Asset Management (AM) has become a more essential part of the organizations' activities during the last decades [4], [5].…”

The management of the End of Life phase of the lifecycle of industrial assets is more and more a relevant issue for companies dealing with aging assets. This paper provides a conceptual model that includes different aspects that should be considered by a comprehensive methodology to support an informed decisionmaking process in this regard. In particular, the work stems from the need of estimating the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of an asset, for defining an Ageing Asset Strategy, through a multi-disciplinary approach instead of a purely technical one. To this end, the proposed model highlights the different End of Life types of an asset that should be considered for comprehensive RUL estimation methodology.

“…To fill this gap in the asset's life cycle, the authors have proposed the concept of "lifetime impacts" in earlier publications (Ruitenburg et al, 2014a;Ruitenburg and Braaksma, 2017b). Lifetime impacts can be defined as: "probable (technical and non-technical) events or trends that may have a positive or negative influence on the value creation with the asset in the intermediate or long term" (Ruitenburg and Braaksma, 2017b, p. 56).…”
