Sharks represent a serious, but still not fully understood, threat to modern communication systems connected through submarine cables. While the vast majority of sharks do not cause any damage to cables, some shark bites have led to serious consequences to submarine cables used for the worldwide internet connection, generating high repair costs and long outages.

14.07.2023, European Space Agency: “Isn’t it strange that when satellites run out of fuel or a single component breaks down, we just discard them?”
“Now is the time to leave behind this ill conceived approach towards design, use and abundance of thousands of spacecraft that now constitute Orbital Debris. Thus, it is an imperative to move from a design for functionality only, to designing-in functionability, the ability to facilitate ex*****on of in-orbit positive functionability actions, which will extend their lives and even enable their safe disposals. MIRCE Science, a theory of a motion of working system through MIRCE Space, resulting from any actions whatsoever, is created at the MIRCE Akademy, for that purpose.” Dr Knezevic, Founder & President of MIRCE Akademy

Programme for 12th MIRCE Science Congress - 28 -30 June 2023

During last twelve months we witnessed around 175 orbital and sub-orbital rocket launches. However, some of them have either never made it to space or failed to deploy their payloads once they got there. The common denominator for all fail missions, according to publicly available information provided by their management and sponsoring teams, was a launch anomaly. Thus, the main objective of the Congress is to address specific actions and mechanisms that prevented launched satellites from reaching the expected orbit as well as those that will reduce a probability of reoccurring.http://www.mirceakademy.com/uploads/12%20MIRCE%20Congress%20-%20Programme-last.pdf

New Challenge for Polly Vacher, Grand Fellow of MIRCE Akademy

Polly Vacher MBE, is taking her 4th charitable challenge. The first 3 were related to the braking of several world-flying records in single engine aircraft around the world, horizontally and vertically, and raising money for Flying Scholarship for the Disabled. The latest is to drive her donkeys, Wizard and Muffin, from Oxford to the church at St Melangell [in north Wales]’. The project is named the Donkathon and it will be raising funds for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research, a cause close to home as her nephew was diagnosed with the disease aged 26.

“It is readily accepted that a Racing car in the pit does not win races, but it not is well understood that a main task of maintenance is not rectification of failures, but the management of failures in the manner that maximises system functionability (read profit, customers satisfaction, loyalty, reliability, punctuality and other desirable properties of maintainable systems. To achieve that a full understanding of Mechanisms of Maintenance is necessary as they drive the system through no functionable states. These are complex physical mechanisms resulting from strong interactions between system design, in-service conditions and maintenance personnel (see photo above). Hence, you are warmly invited to join us and share past experiences and acquire the knowledge needed to create a future race winning, profit making, safe operating systems with confidence”.

25th MIRCE Summer School @ 14-18 July 2014, Woodbury Park, Exeter, UK - Functionability of Maintainable System

The main task of any decision maker (engineer, planner, manager etc.) is to make decisions. At every stage and every level in the life of maintainable systems they have to make a single choice decision from a number of alternative courses of action presented. Some decisions benefit reliability, but at the same time increase production cost. Others improve power-to- weight ratio but increase the number of Not-Fault-Found events or Turn-Around-Cycle, for example. Daily, decision makers strive for decisions that will enhance system in-service performance and reduce business cost and risk. Hence, there is always a trade-off to be made between up front investments in development of technology and returns measured through profit, reputation, or public benefits.
With the continuous increase in complexity of maintainable systems, relying solely on the innate ability of engineers and project managers to make critical decisions has become ineffective. Perhaps the main reason is that is the presence of uncertainty, as whenever a decision is made it will only affect the future outcomes. So engineers, managers, planners and other decision makers must be always interested in the accuracy of their current predictions in respect to the risk taken for the future consequences.
The aim of the Summer School is to expose decision makers regarding maintainable systems to the science based Mirce Mechanics methods and formulas that enable accurate predictions of the future impact of the current decisions to be made regarding any aspect of functionability (throughput, reliability, maintenance cost, ranging and scaling spares, etc. ). They are applicable from the initial states of the business systems creation to the planning and management of their operational, maintenance and support processes and challenges.

Mechanics of Maintenance - MIRCE Mechanics Foundation School
28-30 April 2014

Dear Colleagues

At the MIRCE Akademy we have observed the motion of a large number of machines through the maintenance processes. We have analysed the sequence of the flow of comprising maintenance activities in order to understand their physical mechanisms and the dynamics of the motion of those tasks through the life of large number of machines. Finally, their physical relationships have been captured and described through mathematical formulas that enable accurate predictions of their future trajectories to be made. This has given birth to the Mirce Mechanics, the body of scientifically proven knowledge for predictive Management of In-service Reliability, Cost and Effectiveness.

The main objective of this Foundation School is to present the concept, main principles and equations of the Mirce Mechanics that are directly related to the prediction of the Maintenance Process Measures, which included the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), related to the ex*****on of the maintenance tasks such as: overhauls, tests, inspections, visual checks, scheduled maintenance tasks, repairs as-bad-as-old, not fault found, non destructive tests, replacements, overhauls, and many more, in different geographical locations, environmental conditions and the experience of mechanics associated.

Dear Colleagues

For the first time in engineering history the process of the creation of an engineering profession has preceded the process of the creation of scientifically proven theories, laws and methods. Hence, to put reliability, maintainability, supportability, testability and similar existing engineering job titles on a par with other proven and respected engineering disciplines it was necessary to create a science based foundation and make it compatible with other engineering disciplines regarding terminology, definitions, physical units and prediction accuracy on one hand and also to develop publishing, education and training opportunities.

With that in mind I established the MIRCE Akademy in 1999, where we have now created Mirce Mechanics, the scientific theory of the motion of machines through functionable and failed states. Its axioms, laws, formulas and methods have been developed to enable accurate predictions of a machine’s reliability, maintainability, supportability, operability, availability and similar measurable functionability characteristics to be made with probabilistic regularity. Accurate predictions of these properties is essential as the in-service investments in operational and maintenance resources depend on them, as well as customer satisfactions and repeated purchase.

Consequently, I wish to invite you to consider my invitation to become a Member of our unique organization that is engaged in scientific, educational, training and literary and professional endeavoursrelated to Mirce Mechanics - the science of your profession.

I am convinced that without the knowledge of Mirce Mechanics it is impossible to successfully perform design engineering tasks whose main objectives are the creation of machines that are:

operable, reliable, maintainable, supportable and available as required by users
demanding the least investment in in-service resources like personnel, material, equipment, facilities, information and others
generating the least possible harmful impact on humans and natural environment.

For the Membership package please follow the link:

I am looking forward to welcoming you as a Member and providing you with professional knowledge, capabilities, confidence and pride, as well as the opportunity to shape your own professional future.

3rd World Congress of Mirce Mechanics @ 2-4 June 2014
! CALL FOR PAPERS !

http://www.mirceakademy.com/uploads/2014-Mirce-Congress-Annauncement(1).pdf

The main objective of the Congress is to bring together machine’s design-in decision makers, like
scientists, mathematicians and engineers and machine’s in-service decision makers, like operators,
maintainers, and logisticians to spend a few days together and learn from each other the complexity and
the consequences of their interactions. The quantification of these interactions is essential if the successful
trade-off between functionality and functionability performance of machines is to be achieved, as the
human “satisfaction of felt needs” by machines, depends on it.
