Converting a Multi-state System into a Family of Binary State Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we show mutual relationships between a multi-state system and a family of binary state systems and show some relationships among minimal state vectors of the systems, which give us how to construct the structure function of the multi-state system by using the structure functions of the binary state systems. But the state spaces of multi-state systems are assumed to be totally ordered set, because of simplicity for our first examination about the transformation.

A New Continuous Multi-State Reliability Model with Time Dependent Component Performance Rate
A CSS1†is a system with the continues-state components. When a component has the ability to obtain all the situations from completely working to completely failed, it named continues-state component. In the real world, performance rate of elements are continuous and decrease by time. Continuity of components causes infinite working states and grows up the system states. In this paper we propose...
متن کاملRedundancy Allocation Problem of a System with Three-state Components: A Genetic Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)
The redundancy allocation is one of the most important and useful problems in system optimization, especially in electrical and mechanical systems. The object of this problem is to maximize system reliability or availability within a minimum operation cost. Many works have been proposed in this area so far to draw the problem near to real-world situations. While in classic models the system com...
متن کاملAn integrated production and preventive maintenance planning model with imperfect maintenance in multi-state system
Production planning and maintenance are two important problems in manufacturing systems. Despite the relationship exists between these two problems due to sudden failures and production capacity occupied by maintenance activities, each of these problems planned separately and as a result program and model efficiencies reduce in the real world. The aim of integrated production and maintena...
متن کاملIdentification and Control of MIMO Systems with State Time Delay (Short Communication)
Time-delay identification is one of the most important parameters in designing controllers. In the cases where the number of inputs and outputs in a system are more than one, this identification is of great concern. In this paper, a novel autocorrelation-based scheme for the state variable time-delay identification for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system has been presented. This method is ba...
متن کاملComparing Parallel Simulated Annealing, Parallel Vibrating Damp Optimization and Genetic Algorithm for Joint Redundancy-Availability Problems in a Series-Parallel System with Multi-State Components
In this paper, we study different methods of solving joint redundancy-availability optimization for series-parallel systems with multi-state components. We analyzed various effective factors on system availability in order to determine the optimum number and version of components in each sub-system and consider the effects of improving failure rates of each component in each sub-system and impr...
