Abstract :
A flow graph approach for reliability analysis is applied to redundancy with elements in the simple series-parallel networks and to the more general case with elements in non-series-parallel combinations. The reliability of networks for elements with open or short failures is analyzed with flow graphs. Typical examples are shown.
