Synopsis

Devoted to Multi-State System (MSS) reliability analysis and optimization, this volume provides an historical overview of the field. It presents basic concepts of MSS, defines MSS reliability measures and systematically describes the tools for MSS reliability assessment and optimization. Basic methods for MSS reliability assessment, such as a Boolean methods extension, basic random process methods (both Markov and semi-Markov) and universal generating function models, are systematically studied. A universal genetic algorithm optimization technique and all details of its application are described. All the methods are illustrated by numerical examples. The book also contains many examples of application of reliability assessment and optimization methods to real engineering problems.
