Two-interdependent-performance multi-state system: Definitions and reliability evaluation

Many engineering systems are designed to complete two tasks simultaneously and therefore need to consider two interdependent performance measures. For example, a combined heat and power (CHP) system requires two interdependent performance variables of heat power and electric power to measure its reliability. The operation of such a two-interdependent-performance multi-state system (TIP-MSS) is usually constrained by a two-dimension feasible...
