Abstract
⺠Life extension assessment of technical systems using virtual age model is proposed. ⺠A virtual age model is generalised for systems in stand-by and continuous operation. ⺠The concept of current virtual age describes technical condition of the system. ⺠Different decision alternatives for life extension can be easily analysed. ⺠The decision process is improved even when only scarce failure data is available.
