Reliability evaluation of multi-state consecutive k-out-of-r-from-n: G system

Reliability Analysis of Consecutive-k, r-Out-Of-n: DFM System using GERT

Koutras (1997) analyzed reliability of a consecutive-k, r-out-of-n: DFM system consisting of n components linearly arranged which fails if and only if at least k consecutive components are failed-open or at least r consecutive components are failed-short. In this paper Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT) has been applied to model and analyze the reliability of the above system. On...

Number of Minimal Path Sets in a Consecutive-k-out-of-n: F System

In this paper the combinatorial problem of determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system is considered. For the cases where k = 2, 3 the explicit formulae are given and for k ≥ 4 a recursive relation is obtained. Direct computation for determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system for k ≥ 4 remains a difficult task. ...

Posbist Reliability Theory of k-out-of-n: G System

A preliminary analysis of the posbist reliability of typical system structures was provided by Cai et al. [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 42: 145–172 (1991) and Microelectronics and Reliability 35(1): 49–56 (1995)]. In this paper, we provide a detailed analysis of the posbist reliability of k-out-of-n:G system structures. Expressions of the posbist reliability of k-out-of-n:G system is developed. It is...

Efficient algorithms for reliability of a consecutive 2-out-of-r-from-n: F system

Reliability Analysis of K-Out-Of N: G Machining Systems with Mixed Spares and Multiple Modes of Failure (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This paper deals with the transient analysis of K-out-of-N: G system consisting of Noperatingmachines. To improve system reliability, Y cold standby and S warm standbys spares areprovided to replace the failed machines. The machines are assumed to fail in multiple modes. At leastK-out-of-N machines for smooth functioning of the system. Reliability and mean time to failure areestablished in term...
