Offers timely and comprehensive coverage of dynamic system reliability
theory
This book focuses on hot issues of dynamic system reliability,
systematically introducing the reliability modeling and analysis methods
for systems with imperfect fault coverage, systems with function
dependence, systems subject to deterministic or probabilistic
common-cause failures, systems subject to deterministic or probabilistic
competing failures, and dynamic standby sparing systems. It presents
recent developments of such extensions involving reliability modelling
theory, reliability evaluation methods, and features numerous case
studies based on real-world examples. The presented dynamic reliability
theory can enable a more accurate representation of actual complex
system behavior, thus more effectively guiding the reliable design of
real-world critical systems.
Dynamic System Reliability: Modelling and Analysis of Dynamic and
Dependent Behaviors begins by describing the evolution from the
traditional static reliability theory to the dynamic system reliability
theory, and provides a detailed investigation of dynamic and dependent
behaviors in subsequent chapters. Although written for those with a
background in basic probability theory and stochastic processes, the
book includes a chapter reviewing the fundamentals that readers need to
know in order to understand contents of other chapters which cover
advanced topics in reliability theory and case studies.
- The first book systematically focusing on dynamic system reliability
modelling and analysis theory
- Provides a comprehensive treatment on imperfect fault coverage
(single-level/multi-level or modular), function dependence, common
cause failures (deterministic and probabilistic), competing failures
(deterministic and probabilistic), and dynamic standby sparing
- Includes abundant illustrative examples and case studies based on
real-world systems
- Covers recent advances in combinatorial models and algorithms for
dynamic system reliability analysis
- Offers a rich set of references, providing helpful resources for
readers to pursue further research and study of the topics
Dynamic System Reliability: Modelling and Analysis of Dynamic and
Dependent Behaviors is an excellent book for undergraduate and graduate
students, and engineers and researchers in reliability and related
disciplines.
