Can I read System reliability and sensitivity factors via the MPPSS method on EtoBox?

System reliability and sensitivity factors via the MPPSS method by Robert H. Sues; Mark A. Cesare is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.

What is System reliability and sensitivity factors via the MPPSS method about?

A procedure is presented for obtaining the reliability of series, parallel, and mixed systems. The method, called Most Probable Point System Simulation (MPPSS) is simple, and numerically-based. We do not make any claims of analytic advance. Nevertheless, the procedure is more accurate than current analytically-based bounding methods (e.g. bi-modal) and it is computationally efficient. In addition, the method can be used to obtain system sensitivity factors, that is, the importance of each random variable to the system reliability. The procedure is demonstrated through three example illustrations.

Who reads System reliability and sensitivity factors via the MPPSS method?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Engineering.
