Abstract :
The aim of the article is to estimate a system residual technical life. When estimating a residual technical life statistically, a big amount of tribo-diagnostic data is used. Data includes the information about particles contained in oil which testify to oil condition as well as system condition. We focus on the particles which we consider to be interesting. They are Ferrum (Fe) and Lead (Pb). By modelling the occurrence of particles in oil we expect to determine the adequate moment to perform preventive maintenance and the length of residual system useful life. The way of modelling is based on the specific characteristics of diffusion processes, namely the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Following the modelling results we could set the principles of "CBM - Condition Based Maintenance". However, the possibilities are much wider, since we can also plan operation, mission and reduce life cost.
