Abstract

System signature has been widely utilized to facilitate reliability assessment of coherent systems and networks consisting of a single type of components, which enables us to separate aspects of components’ failure time and system structure. Recently, survival signature fulfils the similar work, extended to the implementation of systems with multiple types of components. However, when the system has several states, the relevant work is limited to complete the reliability assessment by the survival signature. This paper proposed a novel pattern of survival signature for the multi-state system with multiple types of components and the presented approach is executed to demonstrate the validity via a numerical case with 2-type and 3-state components.
