“…Nevertheless, its mathematical formulation does not include degradation phenomena. Indeed, numerous authors extended its governing equations in order to consider the degradation of the system (see, e.g., Baber & Noori, 1985;Erlicher & Bursi, 2008;Kottari, Charalampakis, & Koumousis, 2014;Pelliciari et al, 2018).
