| Summary: | <p><i>Recent Advances in System Reliability</i> discusses developments in modern reliability theory such as signatures, multi-state systems and statistical inference. It describes the latest achievements in these fields, and covers the application of these achievements to reliability engineering practice.</p><p>The chapters cover a wide range of new theoretical subjects and have been written by leading experts in reliability theory and its applications. The topics include:</p><ul><li>concepts and different definitions of signatures (D-spectra), their properties and applications to reliability of coherent systems and network-type structures;</li><li>Lz-transform of Markov stochastic process and its application to multi-state system reliability analysis;</li><li>methods for cost-reliability and cost-availability analysis of multi-state systems;</li><li>optimal replacement and protection strategy; and</li><li>statistical inference.</li></ul><p><i>Recent Advances in System Reliability</i> presents many examples to illustrate the theoretical results. Real world multi-state systems, such as power generation and transmission, refrigeration, and production systems, are considered in the form of case studies, making the book a useful resource for researchers and postgraduate students.</p> |
