Survival signature for reliability evaluation of a multi-state system with multi-state components [PDF]
Abstract 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 reliability evaluation of multi-state system (MSS), computing methods of survival signature are studied for reliability analysis of several different systems ...

STUDY ON THERMAL CONVERSION OF HUADIAN OIL SHALE UNDER N2 AND CO2 ATMOSPHERES; pp. 309–320 [PDF]
Pyrolysis of Chinese Huadian oil shale using carrier gases N2 and CO2 was investigated by TG-FTIR method. The results show that carrier gas does not change weight loss or mechanism of pyrolysis, while decomposition of carbonates in the mineral part can ...

Condition-based Maintenance Optimization of Degradable Systems [PDF]
This paper develops a mathematical model for condition-based maintenance optimization of multi-state systems. The majority of the existing literature on maintenance optimization assume that there is no additional cost incurred because of side effects of ...

Methodology for the Assessment of Imprecise Multi-State System Availability
Most existing studies of a system’s availability in the presence of epistemic uncertainties assume that the system is binary. In this paper, a new methodology for the estimation of the availability of multi-state systems is developed, taking into ...

Algebraic Analysis of Variants of Multi-State k-out-of-n Systems
We apply the algebraic reliability method to the analysis of several variants of multi-state k-out-of-n systems. We describe and use the reliability ideals of multi-state consecutive k-out-of-n systems with and without sparse, and show the results of ...
