A Multiple-Valued Decision Diagram Based Method for Efficient Reliability Analysis of Non-Repairable Phased-Mission Systems

A decision diagram based reliability evaluation method for multiple phased-mission systems

“…Zang and Bai [25] proposed a mathematical model for success probability analysis of PMS based on minimal path set and system state analysis methods. Mo and Xing [9,10] built a new analytical method based on multi-valued decision diagrams for reliability analysis of non-repairable PMS with multimode failures. Li and Tao [7] combined the Bayesian networks with event tree and fault tree analysis to analyze PMS based on conditional probability by giving expression of the phase-dependency.…”

Mission reliability modeling and evaluation of multi-mission phased mission system based on an extended object-oriented Petri net

“…However, they may suffer state space explosion problems when there are large number of components. Modular or hierarchical methods are provided to balance the drawbacks of the previous two approaches [5,6]. But they have to make many hypothesis and could not fully consider the repairable cases; Simulation methods have less restriction and stronger representation power, but are time consuming to gain high accuracy [1,3].…”

Flexible truncation method for the reliability assessment of phased mission systems with repairable components

“…A commonly known challenge facing the state-based methods is the state explosion problem when the number of components becomes large. On the other hand, the binary decision diagrams (BDD) based methods [2,15,16,18,22,27,29,30] (belong to combinatorial methods) are efficient for the PMS with many components. However, BDD based methods can suffer a similar explosion problem (node or path explosion) when the number of phases becomes large.…”
