Abstract

In this paper, we present a algebraic technique for computing system reliability for complex system. The method was originally developed as an aid to fault tree analysis but it applies to general problems of reliability assessment. A success expression which directly gives the reliability expression is formed and simplified by the procedure. Several algorithms and examples are illustrated.
