Many real-world systems, particularly those with limited power resources, are designed with
cold-standby redundancy for achieving fault tolerance and high reliability. Cold-standby …

In this paper, a multi-state k-out-of-n: G system with common bus performance sharing is
proposed, in which k-out-of-n: G structure is considered, and the system state is divided into …

Recent advances in science and technology have made modern computing and
engineering systems more powerful and sophisticated than ever. The increasing complexity …

Multi-state system reliability theory has received considerable attention in recent years, as it
is able to characterize the multi-state nature and complicated deterioration process of …

In engineering scenarios, failures of some components in a system may not always lead to
the failure of an entire system. In such cases, the system can continuously operate while …

This paper proposes a sequential time-dependent reliability analysis method by considering
time sequence and correlation of failure processes for the lower extremity exoskeleton under …

Traditional time-based reliability assessment methods evaluate the reliability of a multi-state
system (MSS) from a population or a statistical perspective that the reliability of a system is …

Fuzzy multi-state system (FMSS) is defined as a multi-state system (MSS) consisting of multi-
state elements (MSE) whose performance rates and transition intensities are presented as …

Decision diagrams are graphical structures based on Shannon's decomposition. They have
been extensively used for representing and manipulating logic functions in areas such as …

This paper develops a Bayesian framework to assess the reliability and performance of multi-
state systems (MSSs). An MSS consists of multiple multi-state components of which the …
