Dispersive Ordering and k-out-of-n Systems
Extended Abstract. The simplest and the most common way of comparing two random variables is through their means and variances. It may happen that in some cases the median of X is larger than that of Y, while the mean of X is smaller than the mean of Y. However, this confusion will not arise if the random variables are stochastically ordered. Similarly, the same may happen if one would like to ...
متن کاملRedundancy allocation problem for k-out-of-n systems with a choice of redundancy strategies
To increase the reliability of a specific system, using redundant components is a common method which is called redundancy allocation problem (RAP). Some of the RAP studies have focused on k-out-of-n systems. However, all of these studies assumed predetermined active or standby strategies for each subsystem. In this paper, for the first time, we propose a k-out-of-<em...
متن کاملA contribution to reliability assessment of safety-instrumented systems
Simplified formulas are popular for reliability analysis of safety instrumented systems (SISs). Both the IEC 61508 standard and the PDS-method provide such formulas for calculation of the average frequency of dangerous failures per hour (PFH). These formulas give reasonably accurate values for the PFH, but both of them also have significant weaknesses. The IEC-formulas can only be applied to sy...
متن کاملAvailability of K-out-of-N: G systems with non-identical components subject to repair priorities
In this paper, a K-out-of-N:G system with N categories of components is studied. Each component category is characterized by its own failure and repair rates. There are R repair facilities, and repair priorities are specified between the N non-identical components. An algorithm for automatic construction of the system state transition diagram is presented. The stationary availability of each co...
متن کاملOn the Joint Reliability Importance for k-out-of-n Systems
In this paper, the concept of joint reliability importance (JRI) of two or groups of components in a coherent system with independent components have been studied. The JRI is defined as the rate at which the system reliability improves as the reliabilities of the two or groups of components improve. Generally, the sign and the value of the JRI represent the type and the degree of i...
