This is mainly achieved via a generalization of two-state system reliability analysis, where equal load sharing and local load sharing rules are commonly used. The material covers basic concepts of traditional reliability theory, including the concept of probability, failures, series and parallel systems, k-out-of-n systems, and more. It features cutting-edge theorems on the reliability analysis of multistate systems that take into account component degradation and dependencies between subsystems and components in subsystems.
Other themes addressed include renewable systems and the availability analysis of multistate systems. Combining results of the reliability analysis of multistate systems with dependent components and the results of the classical renewal theory, the availability analysis of multistate systems under the assumption of imperfect renovation is also provided.
- Provides a thorough introduction to, and review of, recent research developments across multistate systems and systems with component dependencies
- Comprehensively addresses various manifestations of the load sharing system at component and system level, including models to describe them
- Explains how to evaluate the reliability and risk of systems with load-sharing effects
Researchers in the field of reliability theory and dependability, engineering designers working on projects involving load-sharing behaviour
