Abstract Mathematical description of an examined system like a Multi-State System (MSS) permits the analysis of this system reliability in more detail, because the MSS defines some performance levels (more that only working and failure). A structure function is one of basic definitions of MSS. But the structure function dimension increases critically depending on the number of system components...

Jong Gyun Choi, Poong Hyun Seong Department of Nuclear Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Gusong, Yusong, Daejon 305-701, South Korea Abstract This work describes a combinatorial model for estimating the reliability of the embedded digital system by means of multi-state function. This model includes a coverage model for fault-handling techniques implemented in digi...

Excellent book is always being the best friend for spending little time in your office, night time, bus, and everywhere. It will be a good way to just look, open, and read the book while in that time. As known, experience and skill don't always come with the much money to acquire them. Reading this book with the PDF multi state system reliability assessment optimization and applications series ...

Like for any power plant, refuelling will be one key issue in a future fusion reactor. It has to safe and efficient; due the operational principle, it also needs occur steady state. From previous investigations, became clear that injection of pellets - mm-size solid bodies produced from frozen fuel – is only possible technically realistic solution this task. Beyond their capability fuelling, ha...

in this paper, a novel method is developed for designing the output feedback controller for static synchronous series compensator (sssc). in the proposed method, the problem of selecting the output feedback gains for the sssc controllers is changed into an optimization problem with a time domain-based objective function.then, it is solved by using the particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm...
