Devoted to Multi-State System (MSS) reliability analysis and optimization, this volume provides an historical overview of the field. It presents basic concepts of MSS, defines MSS reliability measures and systematically describes the tools for MSS reliability assessment and optimization. Basic methods for MSS reliability assessment, such as a Boolean methods extension, basic random process methods (both Markov and semi-Markov) and universal generating function models, are systematically studied. A universal genetic algorithm optimization technique and all details of its application are...

Multi-state System Reliability Analysis and Optimization for Engineers and Industrial Managers presents a comprehensive, up-to-date description of multi-state system (MSS) reliability as a natural extension of classical binary-state reliability. It presents all essential theoretical achievements in the field, but is also practically oriented. New theoretical issues are described, including: - combined Markov and semi-Markov processes methods, and universal generating function techniques; - statistical data processing for MSSs; - reliability analysis of aging MSSs; - methods for...
