Warm standby redundancy has been used as an effective design technique for improving
the reliability of a system while achieving the compromise between restoration cost and …

This paper investigates replacement scheduling for non-repairable safety-related systems
(SRS) with multiple components and states. The aim is to determine the cost-minimizing time …

Research on mission abort strategies was mostly devoted to binary systems that can be only
in two states, ie, operable or failed. However, the real-world systems can often operate in …

This paper models an operation and rescue system where upon the failure of the operation
system (if occurring), the rescue system is immediately activated to prevent the entire system …

In many industrial and military environments, systems are required to execute a sequence of
missions with a finite break between two adjacent missions. Due to the limited maintenance …

“System-perspective” proposed by “A framework to practical predictive maintenance
modeling for multi-state systems” by Tan CM and Raghavan N.[A framework to practical …

In an actual industrial or military operations environment, a multi-state system (MSS)
consisting of multi-state components often needs to perform multiple missions in succession …

Standby redundancy is a design technique that has been widely adopted to enhance system
reliability and achieve fault tolerance in many critical applications. In this paper, we consider …

Failures of safety-critical systems may cause huge economic losses and irretrievable
disasters. The dynamic operating environment of such systems makes it more difficult to …

One-shot units are produced in batches and stored until use. While in storage, they are
subjected to random non-destructive tests (NDTs) throughout their life horizon to determine …
