Abstract

In general, the reliability evaluation of a stochastic-flow network is with time-invariant quality components (including links or vertices). However, in practice, the quality of components for a stochastic-flow network may be variant due to deterioration or improvement by incomplete renewal. This paper presents a method to evaluate the two-terminal network reliability (2TNR) with time-variant quality components. A numerical example is presented to show the application of this method.
