Common cause failures (CCFs) may lead to the simultaneous unavailability or failure of numerous components in nuclear power plant because existence a shared when an initiating event disrupts normal functioning plants. The presence common (intra-unit and inter-unit) can be recognized multi-unit probabilistic safety assessment (MUPSA) as crucial dependency factor that influence accident scenarios...

Estimating the causal effect of unionization on business survival rates is difficult in the absence of large, representative data on establishments with union status information. It is also confounded by selection bias, because unions may tend to organize at highly profitable enterprises that are more likely to survive. Using new data on more than 27,000 establishments that faced organizing dri...

Redundancy allocation problem is one of the most important problem in Reliability area. In this problem the reliability and availability of the systems maximized via allocating redundant components to sub-systems. a systems operates normally in its operational mode but fails in either opened or shorted modes. this paper presents a repairable k_out_of_n systems network model with common cause fa...

Abstract Mission-critical IEC 61850 system architectures are designed to tolerate hardware failures achieve the highest reliability performance. Hence, multi-channel systems used in such within industrial facilities isolate machinery when there process abnormalities. Inevitably, introduce Common Cause Failure (CCF) since subsystems can rarely be independent. This paper integrates CCF into Marko...
