Existing reliability models of complex systems have mostly assumed instantaneous failure propagation with a global effect leading to conservative analysis results on system reliability. This paper proposes a new reliability model considering competing failure isolation and failure propagation with random propagation time. The assessment method utilizes the total probability theorem and binary decision...
Importance measures have been widely studied and applied in reliability and safety engineering. This paper presents a general formulation of moment-independent importance measures and several commonly discussed importance measures are unified based on Minkowski distance (MD). Moment-independent importance measures can be categorized into three classes of MD importance measures, i.e. probability density...
To measure the correlation between two arbitrary Boolean functions, we propose the two new criteria called the sum-of-squares indicator and the absolute indicator of the cross-correlation. The two indicators generalize the GAC criterion (which was proposed by X.M. Zhang and Y.L. Zheng, in GAC-the criterion for global avalanche characteristics of cryptographic functions, Journal for Universal Computer...
Mean residual life is one of the most important characteristics that can be used to measure the reliability of parallel systems. In literature, mean residual life of parallel systems has been defined in different ways. How are these mean residual life functions related to each other? To answer this question, this paper studies the mean residual life of parallel systems from the point of view of change...
