The concept of residual lifetime has attracted considerable research interest in reliability theory. It is useful for evaluating the dynamic behavior of a system. In this paper, we study the extreme residual lives, that is, the minimum and maximum residual lives of the remaining components after the failure of the system. The system is assumed to have an arbitrary structure. We obtain signature...

An efficient cluster head selection algorithm in wireless sensor networks is proposed in this paper. The implementation of the proposed algorithm can improve energy which allows the structured representation of a network topology. According to the residual energy, number of the neighbors, and the centrality of each node, the algorithm uses Fuzzy Inference Systems to select cluster head. The alg...

The recent development of Accelerator-based Gamma-induced Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (AGPAS) has shown the possibility of probing residual stress in thick materials by Doppler broadening measurements [1]. In those measurements, the residual stresses were reflected in the line shape parameters of the 511 keV annihilation peak. However, since positron lifetime spectroscopy is a powerful t...

The importance of adhesive bonds in the field joining technology is increasing due to their advantageous properties. One these attributes possibility reduce weight compared welded joints group components. For a safe design, knowledge lifetime components essential. Various methods are used for prediction under cyclic loading. On one hand there test-based methods, on other simulation-based approa...

[1] A model of the ocean and seafloor carbon cycle is subjected to injection of new CO2 pulses of varying sizes to estimate the resident atmospheric fraction over the coming 100 kyr. The model is used to separate the processes of air-sea equilibrium, an ocean temperature feedback, CaCO3 compensation, and silicate weathering on the residual anthropogenic pCO2 in the atmosphere at 1, 10, and 100 ...

the complex system containing n elements, each having three dependent components are described. the reliability and mean residual life of such systems with intact components at time t are investigated using a trivariate binomial model. considering a farlie-gumbel-morgenstern family, some graphical representations are given.

The mean residual life function is a key functional for a survival distribution. It has a practically useful interpretation as the expected remaining lifetime given survival up to a particular time point, and it also characterizes the survival distribution. However, it has received limited attention in terms of inference methods under a probabilistic modeling framework. We seek to provide gener...
