title = "Reliability of multi-state systems considering failure propagating mechanisms",
abstract = "Failure propagation is one typical factor for common cause failure which reduces the reliability of a system Most existing works about fault propagation mechanism were studied for binary systems. In this paper, the reliable life of a multi-state system is studied considering the effect of selective failure propagation. Comparing with the existing works considering only the one-multiple pattern propagation, this paper presents three other propagation mechanisms: unidirectional multiple-one pattern. unidirectional conditional cascading pattern, bidirectional one-one pattern. Through analyzing these four propagation mechanisms, universal generating function based technique is proposed to model the system reliable life. A series-parallel multi-state system example is presented to illustrate the procedures.",
