Modern complex engineering systems oftentimes possess hierarchical structures which can
be physically divided into several levels. Traditional reliability assessment methods were …

In a stochastic-flow network, a minimal system state vector under which the maximum flow of
the network from a source node to a destination node is equal to d is called a lower …

In this paper, a single-objective redundancy allocation problem (RAP) is considered for a
series system with k-out-of-n subsystems. In each subsystem, the components are binary …

The k/n (G) system is a typical reliability system in engineering practice. However, research
on this system under discrete-time and retrial conditions is still limited. This paper …

Fire alarm systems are crucial for mitigating the risks and damages associated with fires in
process industries. These systems heavily depend on the performance of fire detection …

This research presents a new approach to analyze the reliability of a 'k-out-of-n'system by
calculating lower bounds for system reliability incorporating Jensen–Shannon divergence …

Drive circuit is a critical part of instrumentation and control systems in nuclear reactors, and
its performance directly influences the operation of nuclear reactors. However, comparing …

A system of dikes in flood-prone areas continuously requires measures to mitigate changes
such as ageing and climate change. Planning costly measures requires proper insight into …

This paper presents a maintenance policy for a modular system formed by K independent
modules (n-subsystems) subjected to environmental conditions (shocks). For the modeling …

Abstract Consider ak\/n\(G\) system, in which the system components are composed of
multiple dependent failure mechanisms, and the dependence between the mechanisms is …
