Redundant design has become the commonly used technique for ensuring the reliability of
complex systems, which calls for great concern to common cause failure problems in such …

In many life-critical applications (eg, spacecraft, aircrafts and chemical reactors),
accomplishing a specified mission or aborting mission objectives in the case of certain …

Redundancy-reliability allocation problem (RRAP) is a well-known problem in reliability
area. In general, this problem aims to maximize a system's reliability or minimize a system's …

When dealing with modern complex systems, the relationship existing between components
can lead to the appearance of various dependencies between component failures, where …

Purpose Patient safety is a top priority globally. A robust healthcare system requires strategic
collaboration between research and development. The author analysed over 300 cases …

One of the most critical factors in using systems is their reliability. The reliability study aims to
help understand the probable nature of equipment failure during use and establish reliability …

One of the challenges in the use of Markov model in reliability analysis is the exponential
growth of number of states and transition rates when the system gets complex. In reliability …

A novel methodology for evaluation of safety instrumented systems (SISs) with
heterogeneous components based on multi-stage dynamic Bayesian networks (MDBNs) is …

In this paper, a reliability evaluation method based on dynamic fault diagnosis results is
proposed. The feasibility of the method is verified by taking the seabed mud lifting system as …
