Ny. Kuznetsov, Weighted modeling of the probability of monotone failure of a system with substantially different reliability characteristics of its elements, CYB SYS AN, 36(2), 2000, pp. 188-195
The probability of monotone system failure on a fixed time interval is stud
ied. The failure and repair distribution functions are assumed to be of a g
eneral form. A new accelerated simulation method is proposed, which makes i
t possible to investigate systems consisting of components with essentially
different reliability characteristics.
