Recent studies have shown that elements reusing through preventive replacements is
beneficial in enhancing the mission success probability (MSP) of standby systems. While …

Intensive research efforts have been dedicated to reliability analysis and optimization of
standby systems. However, only few of the existing models allow a system element to be …

Recent studies have shown that reusing standby elements during the mission may improve
the mission success probability significantly. However, such a benefit cannot be effectively …

Traditional standby system models have mostly assumed that each element can be online
and used once during the mission time. In practice especially when a long mission task is …

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 …

Despite the rich body of research on reliability analysis and optimization of warm standby
systems, the existing works have mostly failed to consider the practical storage component …

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 …

In many industrial and technological systems, due to factors such as deterioration, corrosion,
attacks, etc., preventive replacement is typically performed according to a predetermined …

Intensive research has been devoted to investigating the reliability of standby systems in the
past several decades. The existing models, however, mostly fail to address bounded …

In standby systems, when an online working element fails, a replacement procedure is
initiated to activate a standby unit which will take over the mission task to sustain the system …
