Abstract

ABSTRACT newline newline newlineThe whole work is divided into six chapters. The detail of work contained in the thesis is given below: newline newlineChapter-1 is INTRODUCTION and it contains historical background of the subject, definitions related to subject, reliability analysis, distribution and technique used in the thesis, stochastic process and the work contained in the thesis. newline newlineChapter-2 is LITERATURE REVIEW . In this chapter, author has explained the basic literature and definitions of the subject and the introduction of the researcher of the field that have been contributed earlier. The gap analysis has been done. newline newlineChapter-3 is OBSERVATIONS and RESEARCH METHODOLOGY . In this chapter, author has given the details of material and the methods that are used in the thesis for mathematical formulation and solution of the models for reliability forecast of stochastic systems. newline newlineChapter-4 is RESULTS . In this chapter, the authors applied the techniques and methods to the practical models for reliability forecast. The techniques developed in the thesis have been utilized for mathematical formulation and solution of the models. Reliability parameters for the models have been calculated and illustrated through practical problems. This chapter has been divided in to four models. Four complex systems are taken into account for their reliability analysis by employing supplementary variables and Boolean function techniques. newline newlineChapter-5 is DISCUSSION . In this chapter, author has given the detailed discussion on the models considered in this thesis and the results drawn in chapter-4. The results obtained and reliability parameters obtained in chapter-4 for all the models have been discussed briefly. newline newline newlineChapter-6 is SUMMARY OF THE THESIS AND FUTURE SCOPE . In this chapter, author has been given the summary of the work done in the thesis. Conclusions for all the models and future scope of the work have been discussed in detail. At the end of the thesis up to date list of references has been mentioned . newline newline
