چکیده

In the design of complex systems there is a great interest to know the relative importance of each of their elements. In this paper, we define a new method for measuring the relative importance of each element of the system. We have to specify that this paper concerns only nonrepairable systems and components. We present a way of calculating the criticality of each component for a complex system no matter what the random distribution of the life of the component is. The paper also demonstrates a simple way of calculating how the system life improves when the life of a component is improved. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

تعیین پرتوگیری کارکنان در حوادث بحرانی‌شدن به روش دزیمتری مو

This paper proposes a method for dose estimation in criticality accidents through hair dosimetry. This method is one of the essential requirements of a comprehensive dosimetry system for responding the criticality accidents. The hair samples were irradiated to different dose levels on a RANDO phantom in a standard Cf-252 field. Post-preparation of the samples were done by solving them in approp...

An Improved Modular Modeling for Analysis of Closed-Cycle Absorption Cooling Systems

A detailed modular modeling of an absorbent cooling system is presented in this paper. The model including the key components is described in terms of design parameters, inputs, control variables, and outputs. The model is used to simulate the operating conditions for estimating the behavior of individual components and system performance, and to conduct a sensitivity analysis based on the give...

Advanced Exergy Evaluation of an Integrated Separation Process with Optimized Refrigeration System

Advanced exergy analysis is a tool to split the exergy destruction of the system to achieve a better perspective about the potentials of a system for improvements. In addition, the component interactions and their exergy destruction dependency with the other equipment are investigated through the advanced exergy analysis. For this purpose, it divides the exergy destruction calculated by convent...

Developing an economical model for reliability allocation of an electro-optical system by considering reliability improvement difficulty, criticality, and subsystems dependency

The nature of electro-optical equipment in various industries and the pursuit of the goal of reducing costs demand high reliability on the part of electro-optical systems. In this respect, reliability improvement could be addressed through a reliability allocation problem. Subsystem reliability must be increased such that the requirements as well as defined requisite functions are ensured in ac...
