Inference for stress–strength reliability of multi-state system with dependent stresses and strengths using improved generalized survival signature

Multi-state systems are widely used in engineering field, which usually contain complex internal structures and variable external environmental stresses. Discussing the reliability of such system has theoretical significance and application values. In this paper, a new stress–strength model for multi-state system consisting of multi-type multi-state components is introduced. Each type of components has two dependent strengths, which is suffered …
