• Abstract: In the complex multi-state system (MSS), reliability analysis is a significant research content, both for equipment design, manufacturing, usage and maintenance. Universal Generating Function (UGF) is an important method in the reliability analysis, which efficiently obtains the system reliability by a fast algebraic procedure. However, when structural relationships between subsystems or components are not clear or without explicit expressions, the UGF method is difficult to use or not applicable at all. Bayesian Network (BN) has a natural advantage in terms of uncertainty inference for the relationship without explicit expressions. For the number of components is extremely large, though, it has the defects of low efficiency. To overcome the respective defects of UGF and BN, a novel reliability analysis method called UGF-BN is proposed for the complex MSS. In the UGF-BN framework, the UGF method is firstly used to analyze the bottom components with a large number. Then probability distributions obtained are taken as the input of BN. Finally, the reliability of the complex MSS is modeled by the BN method. This proposed method improves the computational efficiency, especially for the MSS with the large number of bottom components. Besides, the aircraft reliability-based design optimization based on the UGF-BN method is further studied with budget constraints on mass, power, and cost. Finally, two cases are used to demonstrate and verify the proposed method.

  We propose an algorithm for quantifying the reliability of evidence sources, called Fuzzy Reliability Index (FRI) The FRI algorithm is based on decision quantification rules derived from IFS, defining the contribution of different BPAs to correct decisions and deriving the evidential reliability from these contributions. The proposed method effectively enhances the rationality of reliability estimation for evidence sources, making it particularly suitable for classification decision problems in complex scenarios.
