Modern systems are operating under dynamic environments and the components therein
often exhibit positively correlated lifetimes. Moreover, due to various practical reasons such …

In maritime transportation system (MTS), ports and ocean routes are essential for
establishing and maintaining effective international trade routes. However, the ability of the …

For a multi-component system, the impact of the alteration of components on the system
reliability often needs assessment. Existing importance measures, however, do not consider …

The mission reliability of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm is the capability of the
swarm to complete its intended missions under specified operating conditions for a specified …

Reliability analysis of balanced systems has become an important research topic. In
previous studies, a balanced system only has two states, ie, perfect functioning and …

To enhance system performance, corrective maintenance for failed components and
preventive maintenance (PM) for operating components can be performed simultaneously …

This paper focuses on a linear consecutive-k-out-of-n: F repairable retrial system with an
unreliable repair facility, in which preventive maintenance (PM) and repair for working …

A wide variety of importance measures have been proposed to rank components for different
purposes and most of them are based on a single criterion like reliability, maintenance cost …
