Relative Aging of Coherent Systems

In this article, we carry out the stochastic comparison between coherent systems through the relative aging order when component lifetimes are independent and identically distributed. We make use of the signature to characterize the structure of coherent systems, and derive several sufficient conditions under which the compared systems with the common size can be ordered in the sense of relative aging. Specially, we present some scenarios wherein the better a coherent system is, the faster it ages. Moreover, we discuss the relative aging of dual systems as well. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 64: 345–354, 2017     

一类典型多态关联系统的可靠性定性性质

定义了一种典型的多态关联系统逻辑结构，该类系统在工程实践中有一定的应用范围。由于这类系统的结构比较特殊，因此有比较优良的定性性质，而可靠性分析中，最小路集求解是定性分析最主要的研究内容之一。针对这种结构的系统，研究了相应的最小路集求解方法，这种方法的运算量远小于一般系统最小路集求解方法的运算量。     

多态关联系统结构特性分析

可靠性分析中，系统的结构函数有两方面的作用，一方面是结合部件可靠度求得系统的可靠度，另一方面是由结构函数分析系统的结构特性。本文通过构造结构函数的差分运算，从系统的结构稳定性、状态吸收能力和结构重要度三个方面对后者进行了讨论。

脉冲群间多普勒频率变化率的高精度测量算法

提出了一种脉冲群间多普勒频率变化率的高精度测量算法,该算法利用脉冲群内相邻脉冲对间的互相关函数估计脉冲群模糊频率,在连续脉冲群间选择任一相同模糊频率进行解模糊得到各脉冲群相对频率,由于这些相对频率包含相同的模糊,从而可以利用差分或滤波算法得到脉冲群间多普勒频率变化率。该算法具有相对频率估计精度高、解模糊过程简单、运算量小、多普勒频率变化率测量精度高等优点。计算机仿真和地面缩比试验均证明了该测量算法的有效性。

相参性是现代雷达的普遍性质,利用雷达脉冲之间的相参性,提取相参特征参数,并运用于雷达信号分选,对降低当前信号分选中存在的“漏批”率具有重要的意义。本文在基于频谱分析的相参特征模型基础上,研究了基于最小二乘模板匹配误差的相参特征,并提出了具体应用中的改进措施。仿真结果表明,利用频谱主峰图像最小二乘模板匹配误差这一相参特征参数进行信号分选,可以有效地减少“漏批”率。

A note on necessary and sufficient conditions for ordering properties of coherent systems with exchangeable components

We give necessary and sufficient conditions based on signatures to obtain distribution‐free stochastic ordering properties for coherent systems with exchangeable components. Specifically, we consider the stochastic, the hazard (failure) rate, the reversed hazard rate, and the likelihood ratio orders. We apply these results to obtain stochastic ordering properties for all the coherent systems with five or less exchangeable components. Our results extend some preceding results. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2011     

On optimal system designs in reliability‐economics frameworks

Reliability Economics is a field that can be defined as the collection of all problems in which there is tension between the performance of systems of interest and their cost. Given such a problem, the aim is to resolve the tension through an optimization process that identifies the system which maximizes some appropriate criterion function (e.g. expected lifetime per unit cost). In this paper, we focus on coherent systems of n independent and identically distributed (iid) components and mixtures thereof, and characterize both a system's performance and cost as functions of the system's signature vector (Samaniego, IEEE Trans Reliabil (1985) 69–72). For a given family of criterion functions, a variety of optimality results are obtained for systems of arbitrary order n. Approximations are developed and justified when the underlying component distribution is unknown. Assuming the availability of an auxiliary sample of N component failure times, the asymptotic theory of L‐estimators is adapted for the purpose of establishing the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators of the expected ordered failure times of the n components of the systems under study. These results lead to the identification of ε‐optimal systems relative to the chosen criterion function. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2007
