fault tolerance is one of the important issues in industries, such as transportation, military, chemical and nuclear sectors. reliability and safety are two vital attributes of fault tolerant systems, and redundancy is a common way to improve these parameters. this article studies the impact of including cold standby spares in system architecture. to do this, it uses the markov model of the sys...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and simplified (SSO) are two of the state-of-the-art intelligence technique that is widely utilized for purposes. This paper describes a particle-based (PSSO) procedure which combines update mechanisms (UMs) PSO SSO to determine optimal system reliability reliability-redundancy allocation problems (RRAPs) with cold-standby strategy while aimed at maximizing rel...

This paper presents dynamic standby control (DSC) with voltage keeper for further standby power reduction. As compared to the reported DSC, the new modified DSC can be kept deeply cut-off with negative overdrive voltage as well. Besides, a bootstrapped voltage keeper directly recharges the boosted node of power gate, which prevents leakage current during the recharging period. However, total st...

Problem statement: Many authors have studied k-out of-n repairable system with dependent failure and standby support. The question was raised whether the repair and standby units support increase the reliability of the system. Determine the efficiency of repair and standby support on the reliability of the system. Approach: In this study the statistical analysis of k-out of-n repairable system ...
