1. A technical maintenance method for a piece of equipment of a vehicle that includes an anti-vibration system, the method comprising the following steps:
operating the anti-vibration system either in a normal mode of operation in which the anti-vibration system reduces vibrations occurring while the vehicle is operating or in a degraded mode of operation in which the anti-vibration system reduces less or none of the vibrations occurring while the vehicle is operating whereby the equipment is subjected to more of the vibrations occurring while the vehicle is operating when the anti-vibration system is operating in the degraded mode of operation than when the anti-vibration system is operating in the normal mode of operation; determining, by a maintenance device in communication with the anti-vibration system, whether the anti-vibration system is operating in the normal mode of operation or in the degraded mode of operation; determining, by the maintenance device, a first number (D1) of hours of operation of the equipment while the anti-vibration system was operating in the normal mode of operation; determining, by the maintenance device, a second number (D2) of hours of operation of the equipment while the anti-vibration system was operating in the degraded mode of operation; converting, by the maintenance device, the second number (D2) of hours of operation into a third number (D3) of hours of operation by applying a predetermined conversion relationship, the third number (D3) of hours of operation acting under normal operating mode conditions to generate damage to the equipment that is equal to the damage caused by the equipment operating during the second number of hours of operation; and acting on the equipment when the sum of the first number (D1) plus the third number (D3) reaches a predetermined threshold (D0). |
