CONSECUTIVE k-OUT-OF-n SYSTEMS WITH MAINTENANCE
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abs t r a c t . A consecutive k-out-of-n system consists of n linearly or cyclically ordered components such that the system fails if and only if at least k consecutive components fail. In this paper we consider a maintained system where each component is repaired independently of the others according to an exponential distribution. Assuming general lifetime distributions for system's components we prove a limit theorem for the time to first failure of both linear and circular systems.

Condition-based Maintenance Problem of a Consecutive-k-out-of-n: F System with Load-Sharing Dependent Components
A maintenance problem of a linear consecutivek-out-of-n: F system with load-sharing dependent components is considered. This system consists of n components which are arranged linearly and fails if k consecutive components fail [1]. This system is commonly found in the integrated circuits, relay stations in telecommunication system, oil pipeline system, vacuum system in accelerators, and spacec...
متن کاملNumber 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. ...
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...

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...
متن کاملUsing NSGA II Algorithm for a Three Objectives Redundancy Allocation Problem with k-out-of-n Sub-Systems
in the new production systems, finding a way to improving the product and system reliability in design is a very important. The reliability of the products and systems may improve using different methods. One of this methods is redundancy allocation problem. In this problem by adding redundant component to sub-systems under some constraints, the reliability improved. In this paper we worked on ...
