Multistate phased-mission systems (MS-PMS) are multistate systems subject to multiple,
consecutive, and nonoverlapping phases of operation. The challenges in analyzing MS …

In this paper, an efficient analytical modeling method is proposed for reliability analysis of k-
out-of-n phased-mission systems (PMSs). A PMS is a system involving multiple, consecutive …

It is often difficult for a phased mission system (PMS) to be highly reliable, because this
entails achieving high reliability in every phase of operation. Consequently, reliability …

Survival signature technology has recently attracted increasing attention for its merits on
quantifying reliability of systems with multiple types of components. In order to implement …

In many practical applications, a number of mission subtasks should be completed to make
the entire mission successful. Moreover, different subtasks can be executed by different sets …

Mission aborting aims to survive a system and avert catastrophic damages caused by the
loss of the system. However, the effectiveness of mission aborting depends heavily on the …

This paper models and optimizes a 1-out-of-N: G heterogeneous warm standby system
subject to state-dependent component loading and mission abort policies. For …

Some engineering systems are supported by protective devices to mitigate system failure
risks and extend system lifetime. Nevertheless, existing research on the reliability of systems …

In this paper we consider vulnerable systems, which can have different states corresponding
to different combinations of available elements composing the system. Each state can be …

Phased-mission systems (PMSs) are widely used, especially in the aerospace industry. As
in the outer space there are many kinds of cosmic rays, such as the Galactic Cosmic Rays …
