This paper constructs a reliability model for the performance sharing system with random
shocks, and studies the optimal preventive maintenance policy for this model. Such a system …

Increasing research efforts have been devoted to the reliability analysis of multi-state
systems (MSSs) with different performance sharing mechanisms. This paper investigates the …

The parallel structure in the reliability engineering is widely used in many industrial systems
such as power generation systems, pump systems, production systems and computing …

Modern technological advances require unprecedented reliability improvements in
engineering systems. This is especially true for the numerous complex structures used as …

In this paper, a performance-based balanced system with common bus performance sharing
is established. The system consists of n components connected by a common bus. Each …

From previous studies on performance sharing systems, the system structure is considered
to be either series, or series-parallel, or k-out-of-n structure. To enrich the research and …

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) have been integrated into the smart grid for monitoring
the operational state of system and improving the reliability. Due to the high cost of PMU …

A multi-state star network with bi-level performance sharing mechanism is studied.
According to the proposed topology, the network consists of a main node, which occupies …

In a power grid system, generators may fail due to the internal structure and material
degradation caused by stress levels or work conditions. However, power grid systems may …

Existing research on multistate system reliability has mainly focused on one‐dimensional
systems such as parallel systems, linear sliding window systems, and linearly consecutively …
