This book is the first to be devoted to multi-state system (MSS) reliability analysis and optimization. It contains a brief historical overview, presents the ba

An effective reliability programme is an essential component of every product's design, testing and efficient production. From the failure analysis of a microel

This book introduces the reliability modelling and optimization of warm standby systems. Warm standby is an attractive redundancy technique, as it consumes less
