In this paper, we develop a new reliability model for dependent competing failure processes
(DCFPs), which accounts for degradation-shock dependence. This is a type of dependence …

The irrelevance coverage model (ICM) is an extension of the imperfect fault coverage model
(IFCM), which can reduce the risk of uncovered component failures by isolating irrelevant …

In this paper, a fuzzy fault tree analysis technique for reliability evaluation of the wind energy
system is presented. The technique combines the operational failures effect and the errors in …

A common method for increasing the reliability of a system is to introduce redundant
components. However, when the coverage of a fault is imperfect, the system may fail prior to …

Design optimization for reliable networking is necessary for Ethernet ring mesh networks
with ITU-T G. 8032 Ethernet ring protection recommendation or with the IEC 62439-3 high …

Software reliability models are one of the most generally used mathematical tool for
estimation of reliability, failure rate and number of remaining faults in the software. Existing …

Reliability analysis of the software has attracted a lot of attention of the software developers
and researchers due to rapid growing need of software in routine life. The software reliability …

Except the two types of state, complete failure and perfect functioning, some intermediate
states also existed between those two states. This characteristic enables multistate system …

Body sensor networks (BSNs) are playing a crucial role in tackling arising challenges during
the COVID-19 pandemic. This work contributes by modeling and analyzing the BSN …

In a phased-mission system (PMS), an uncovered component fault may lead to a mission
failure regardless of the status of other components, and the reliability can be analyzed with …
