Abstract:Multi-Valued
ReliabilityBlock Diagrams (MVRBD) are introduced as a generalization of classical reliability block diagrams (RBD) commonly used in system analysis. MVRBD offer the advantage of allowing systems and subsystem components to be modeled with arbitrary hazard failure rate relationships. MVRBD are based upon a multiplevalued discrete switching algebra that is functionally complete with constants thereby affording a corresponding model to be formulated for any system that is capable of being modeled in … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
