Stress-strength interference-based importance for series systems considering common cause failure

Abstract

Article citation info:the component is failure. The results of importance measures could facilitate the reliability design, component assignment problem, redundancy allocation, system upgrading, fault diagnosis, and maintenance. Nowadays, importance measures have been widely applied in the fields of engineering, such as oil and gas transmission, railway systems, nuclear power production, manufacturing systems, and computer systems, and so on [17].In 1968, Birnbaum first put forward the calculation method of importance measures for binary systems [4], and Birnbaum importance is classified into three categories as follows. The first category is the structure importance measure, which represents the role of the positions in the system that the components occupy; The second category is the reliability importance measure, which considered the component
