Survey of reliability and availability evaluation of complex networks using Monte Carlo techniques

A Simulation Approach of Complex Repairable System Based on Stateflow

“…Many researchers are modeling and simulating the complex repairable system currently [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], the aim of research is getting the availability, MTTF, MTTR of system through the reliability and maintainability of subsystem. The researchers believe the main difficulty of modeling and simulating the complex repairable system is that system structure is very complex; subsystem's failure and repair distribution is various.…”

Performance analysis of cellular automata Monte Carlo Simulation for estimating network reliability

“…(3) Users can easily obtain system reliability by inputting data into computer when MCS approach is programmed in programming languages. (4) The operation time of the computer get faster so that the manipulating time of MCS process decreases (Wang & Pham, 1997). As a result, MCS algorithm has became one of the efficient and optimal approaches for estimating network reliability (Rocco & Moreno, 2002;Rocco & Zio, 2005;Easton & Wong, 1980;Fishman, 1986;Kamat & Riley, 1975, 1976Kubat, 1989;Landers et al, 1991;Lin & Donaghey, 1993;Ramirez-Má rquez & Coit, 2005, 2007Wang & Pham, 1997;Yeh, 1996Yeh, , 1998Yeh, , 2003Yeh, , 2004aYeh, ,b, 2007Yeh & Lin, 2009;Yeh, Lin, & Lin, 2007;Zio, Podofillini, & Zille, 2006).…”

A Method to Take Account of Inhomogeneity in Mechanical Component Reliability Calculations

“…The new method employs the Monte-Carlo simulation method, which uses system probability models, and simulation of random variables [17], to analyze the relationship between the reliability, and volume, of a mechanical component.…”
