System Reliability Modeling: A Matrix-Algorithmic Approach in MATLAB, (Hardcover)

<p><b>Technical, comprehensive resource on system reliability modeling</b> </p><p><i>System Reliability Modeling</i> develops algorithms for generating a system reliability model using matrix algebra, with all algorithms presented in ready-to-use MATLAB functions ensuring system reliability modeling becomes as simple as writing a few lines of MATLAB code, no matter how complex the system structures are. All functions are managed in a user-friendly software package to simplify modeling and analyzing the reliability of a complex system. The package is also utilized to investigate the optimum maintenance and replacement programs, component orderings, and warmness levels in standby systems. </p><p>The book includes examples and simple exercises for every topic, applications for real systems, problems at the end of each chapter, a chapter on discrete time systems, and a chapter on the use of AI in system reliability. </p><p>This book discusses: </p><ul> <li>Matrix-based distributions, covering continuous-time Markov chains (CTMC), ways to model CTMC, phase-type (PH) and matrix-exponential (ME) distributions, similarity transformation, and approximating scalar distributions with PH distributions</li> <li>One-component systems, covering reliability, hazard, and mean residual lifetime functions, perfect and imperfect maintenance, optimum replacement interval, and stock-out risk. </li> <li>Basic structured systems, covering series, parallel, standby with perfect and imperfect switches structures, and any combination of these structures </li> <li>General structure systems, covering a method to incorporate warmness levels into standby systems, so that one standby model applies to hot, warm, and cold standby in any combination thus applicable to all basic structured systems</li> <li>Network reliability, covering methods for converting Boolean structure functions into arithmetic functions and calculating network's reliability measures and the maximum reliability function in capacitated networks</li> </ul> <p><i>System Reliability Modeling</i> is an excellent resource for students, researchers, reliability engineers, maintenance engineers, and spare part logistics engineers seeking a rigorous analytical method in system design for reliability.</p>
