All functions are managed in a user-friendly software package to simplify modeling and analyzing the reliability of a complex system. The package is also utilized to investigate the optimum maintenance and replacement programs, component orderings, and warmness levels in standby systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes examples and simple exercises for every topic, applications for real systems, problems at the end of each chapter, a chapter on discrete time systems, and a chapter on the use of AI in system reliability.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book discusses: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMatrix-based distributions, covering continuous-time Markov chains (CTMC), ways to model CTMC, phase-type (PH) and matrix-exponential (ME) distributions, similarity transformation, and approximating scalar distributions with PH distributions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOne-component systems, covering reliability, hazard, and mean residual lifetime functions, perfect and imperfect maintenance, optimum replacement interval, and stock-out risk. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBasic structured systems, covering series, parallel, standby with perfect and imperfect switches structures, and any combination of these structures \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeneral structure systems, covering a method to incorporate warmness levels into standby systems, so that one standby model applies to hot, warm, and cold standby in any combination thus applicable to all basic structured systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNetwork reliability, covering methods for converting Boolean structure functions into arithmetic functions and calculating network’s reliability measures and the maximum reliability function in capacitated networks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSystem Reliability Modeling\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent resource for students, researchers, reliability engineers, maintenance engineers, and spare part logistics engineers seeking a rigorous analytical method in system design for reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Wiley-IEEE Press\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-12-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781394371129\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: cm xcm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668520493196,"sku":"9781394371129","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781394371129.jpg?v=1775665703","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781394371129","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
