This paper models and optimizes the replacement and maintenance schedule (RMS) for a
heterogeneous two-unit standby system. The system must accomplish a specified amount of …

The paper proposes a new fault tolerant system design model, in particular a 1-out-of-N: G
hybrid redundant system with standby elements subject to state-dependent standby mode …

Though intensive research efforts have been devoted to the study of mission aborting rules
(MARs) for diverse types of systems, no previous work has discussed this problem for …

A genetic algorithm approach is used to solve a multi-objective discrete reliability
optimization problem in ak dissimilar-unit non-repairable cold-standby redundant system …

Optimal component order can effectively improve the system reliability for the design of a
warm standby sparing (WSP) system. The optimal component order in the 1-out-of-n WSP …

This paper models a dual-unit standby system with non-identical, reusable units that perform
the mission task alternatively according to a pre-specified replacement and maintenance …

Many real-world critical systems, such as aircraft and human space flight systems, utilize
mission aborts to enhance the survivability of the system. Specifically, the mission objectives …

Mode transfers have attracted attention from the standby system community as they can
effectively reduce system downtime. However, the existing models are not applicable to …

This article considers the redundancy allocation problem pertaining to k-out-of-n: G
heterogeneous series–parallel systems. Different from existing approaches that consider …

It is a common practice to use product storage to enhance the system operation efficiency
and mission success probability (MSP). However, very few studies in the reliability literature …
