Preface
This book is concerned with the identification, evaluation, prediction and optimization of operation, reliability, availability and safety of technical systems related to their operation processes. The main emphasis is on multi-state systems composed of ageing components and changing their structures and their component’s reliability and safety characteristics during the operation processes. In this book these systems are called the complex technical systems. The practical importance of such an approach in reliability and safety identification, assessment and prediction, and analyzing the effectiveness of operation processes of real technical systems is evident. Most real technical systems are very complex and it is difficult to analyze their reliability, availability and safety. Large numbers of components and subsystems and their operating complexity cause the identification, evaluation, prediction and optimization of their reliability, availability and safety to be complicated. The complexity of the systems’ operation processes and their influence on changing in time the systems’ structures and their components’ reliability characteristics are very often m
