Summary: This paper investigates the joint optimization of condition-based maintenance and spare provisioning for a K-out-of-N system considering failures during inspection intervals. The authors propose an optimal joint policy by using the value iteration algorithm and compare it with two separated policies that consider part of the information. The results show that the comprehensive information is more important to the ordering decisions than the replacing decisions.

Summary: This paper focuses on the optimization of condition-based mission abort policies and system structure in a work system with random task arrivals. Different decision criteria are considered and corresponding abort policies are proposed. Mission reliability and system survivability are derived using recursive methods, and the objective is to minimize the expected total cost while balancing mission reliability and system survivability by jointly optimizing the abort policies and system structure.

Summary: In this paper, an optimal maintenance policy is developed for a k-out-of-n system that operates in a random cycle. The k-out-of-n system, which requires at least k out of n independent components to function, is a crucial system in reliability engineering. The paper proposes a two-stage maintenance methodology for the system and determines the optimal number of components and preventive replacement time to minimize the mean cost rate functions. The models provided in the paper offer a more general framework for analyzing the maintenance policy of the k-out-of-n system.

Summary: This paper conducts reliability analysis for k-out-of-n(G) systems suffering from interdependent competing failure processes. The failure of the system is determined by the number of operating components being less than k. Each component degrades linearly with time and can experience soft failure or hard failure due to random shocks. The reliability functions of the system under extreme shock model and cumulative shock model are obtained using multivariate analysis methods.

Summary: This paper discusses the reliability analysis and bi-objective optimization problem of a redundant system with two dependent failures: common cause failure and load-sharing failure. The system includes N active components, W warm standbys, and C cold standbys, and uses a K-mixed redundancy strategy. The steady-state distribution of the system is obtained using matrix-analytic method, and the reliability functions and transient availabilities are solved using Markov renewal theory, Laplace-Stieltjes transform, and Laplace transform. Numerical experiments are conducted for sensitivity analysis, and a bi-objective optimization problem is solved using the NSGA-II algorithm for minimal expected total cost and maximal availability.

Summary: This paper investigates the use of two consecutive-(1,l) or (2,k)-out-of-(2,n): F type systems that share components to study a smart street light system composed of symmetrically deployed lighting and sensing equipment on both sides of a road segment. The joint reliability of the two systems is presented using the finite Markov chain imbedding approach (FMCIA), which also introduces a new computational method for joint signatures. Compared to the direct method, the new method is not only computationally more efficient, but also provides a unified mathematical form. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the computational process, and potential applications and extensions of the developed models and methods are mentioned.

Summary: This paper proposes an analytical modeling method based on multi-valued decision diagrams (MDD) for efficient reliability analysis of dynamic voting phased mission systems (VPMS). The suggested approach takes into consideration the changing system configurations, phase-dependent failure behavior, and statistical dependencies across phases. It offers a fast MDD generation algorithm and can be applied to systems with heterogeneous components. Examples demonstrate the applications and advantages of this approach.

Summary: This paper studies the prediction intervals of off-line and online remaining useful lifetimes for the k-out-of-n load-sharing system under the equal load-sharing rule. Maximum likelihood estimators and two-stage estimators for model parameters, system reliability, and mean lifetime are proposed when each component's lifetime follows the Weibull distribution. Wald and bootstrap-type confidence intervals are developed for the model parameters. Monte Carlo simulation is used to assess the performance of the proposed prediction intervals. The simulation results show that the coverage probabilities of the proposed bootstrap-type prediction intervals are close to the nominal confidence levels even with small sample sizes. A real example is used to illustrate the proposed bootstrap-type prediction interval methods.

Summary: In this work, a new dynamic k-out-of-n:G model is proposed to describe the characteristics of power supply systems in satellites or space stations. The model considers dynamic mechanisms, such as the random process of the failure threshold k and the dynamic decline rate of undamaged channels depending on k. The reliability of the system is derived analytically assuming the channel lifetime follows an exponential distribution, while a simulation method is used for other cases. The optimal redundancy of channels is proposed based on the evaluation of reliability by minimizing the weight of the power supply system under a constraint.

Summary: Weighted k-out-of-n systems are an important class of redundant systems with wide applications in reliability engineering. This paper introduces novel optimal preventive maintenance models for such systems, based on average cost and availability criteria. The cost (and availability) function is determined by the average number of failed components, relying on the mixture representation of system reliability and the notion of the system's signature.

Summary: This article emphasizes the importance of environmental safety in the design and operation of underwater transport systems, and introduces the use of a mathematical model to support decision-making for preventive maintenance of unmanned underwater vehicles. The study investigates a preventive maintenance strategy for a k-out-of-n system, focusing on the location of failed components in the system, and proposes a new method based on the distribution of failing components. The sensitivity of decision-making about preventive maintenance to the shape of distributions and numerical examples are also discussed in the study.
