Reliability of a system may differ greatly when operating under different environments.
However, the existing works have either neglected the environment factor in system …

In a random environment, state transition probabilities of a multi-state system can change as
the environment changes. Thus, a dynamic reliability model with random and dependent …

Dynamic reliability measures are important characteristics for understanding the lifetime
behaviour of multi-state systems. This study aims to analyze the mean residual lifetime …

The performance evaluation of a system having n identical units, each of which consists of
two components has been successfully discussed in binary-state reliability analysis. In this …

This paper deals with the dynamic reliability analysis of two different three-state k-out-of-n: G
systems that consist of independent and nonidentical components. Marginal and joint …

In theory and practice, system performance is one of the most important issues. Therefore, a
series of indexes has been proposed for evaluating the system performance, such as …
