Modular model and algebraic phase algorithm for reliability modelling and evaluation of phased-mission systems with conflicting phase redundancy

Phased-mission systems (PMSs) have been widely used as mission reliability models for many complex systems whose missions can be divided into several phases. In practice, PMSs may have conflicting phase redundancy, that is, a phase task can be performed in more than one phase and redundancy phases can be shared by more than one failed phase. Such PMSs have the following characteristics: (1) the failure of a phase task with redundancy does not …
