In previous works, piecewise-deterministic Markov process (PDMP) has been adopted to treat the system dynamics and the degradation dependence in MSPS. For reliability assessment, Monte Carlo simulation and finite-volume method are two widely used numerical approaches to solve PDMP. In the present work, a comparative study considering different evaluation criteria of the two approaches is conducted on two representative case studies. We provide clear guidelines for the selection of the two approaches. %G English %2 https://centralesupelec.hal.science/hal-01786573/document %2 https://centralesupelec.hal.science/hal-01786573/file/2018_A-comparison-between-Monte-Carlo-simulation-and-finite-volume-scheme-for-reliability-assessment-of-multi-state-physics-systems%281%29.pdf %L hal-01786573 %U https://centralesupelec.hal.science/hal-01786573 %~ LGI %~ SUP_CHAIRE-SSEC %~ CENTRALESUPELEC %~ LGI-SR %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ CENTRALESUPELEC-SACLAY %~ EDF %~ GS-ENGINEERING
