Joint importance of multistate systems
Importance measures in reliability engineering are used to identify weak areas of a system and signify the roles of components in either causing or contributing to proper functioning of the system. Traditional importance measures for multistate systems mainly concern reliability importance of an individual component and seldom consider the utility performance of the system. This paper extends t...
متن کاملThe Importance of an Item in a Multistate System
A bstract We define the utility of the specified up state of the system, 2: Xi, consisting of n independent multistate items. A measure of importance of an item and that of a given state of an item are discussed with respect to the expected utility function. It is shown that., for non-decreasing utility functions, the perfect state of an item yields maximum contribution to the expected utility ...
متن کاملAn importance measure for multi-component systems with Semi- Markov dynamics
We consider semi-Markov reliability models of multi-component systems with a discrete state space, general enough to include systems with maintenance or repair. We assume that for all system states the functioning or failure of each component is specified. In this setup we propose a component importance measure which is close in spirit to the classical steady state Barlow–Proschan importance me...
متن کاملAn Intensity Measure for Seismic Input Energy Demand of Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Systems
Nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed to compute the maximum relative input energy per unit mass for 21 multi-degree-of-freedom systems (MDOF) with preselected target fundamental periods of vibration ranging from 0.2 to 4.0 s and 6 target inter-story ductility demands of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 subjected to 40 the earthquake ground motions. The efficiency of the several intensity measures as an ind...
متن کاملA BDD-Based Algorithm for Analysis of Multistate Systems with Multistate Components
In this paper, a new algorithm based on Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) for the analysis of a system with multistate components is proposed. Each state of a multistate component is represented by a Boolean variable, and a multistate system is represented by a series of multistate fault trees. A Boolean algebra with restrictions on variables is used to address the dependence among these Boolean va...
