Reliability Evaluation of Failure Delayed Engineering Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces an analytical approach for the evaluation of multi-user engineering systems presenting a failure delayed behaviour pattern, that is, systems whose performance decays progressively after the failures, due to internal fault tolerance mechanisms or to the complacency of the users regarding the temporarily unavailability of the services. The approach is based on the determination of analytical expressions for the reliability measures, e.g. frequency and probability of failure states, which may then be evaluated using general purpose mathematical tools. The paper discusses the rationale and the fundamental algorithms of the approach and presents a set of illustrative examples.

Investigating Impacts of Sustainable Repair Time and Circuit Breaker Model on Meshed Distribution Networks Reliability Assessment
Generally, the failure rate and the repair time of system components are constant parameters in reliability assessment of electric distribution systems. A failure of component is resulted from failing in the operation or overloading. In addition, there exist cases where, the repair times of components are small and tolerable from customer point of view. Thus, tolerable repair times may be overl...

متن کاملCold standby redundancy optimization for nonrepairable series-parallel systems: Erlang time to failure distribution
In modeling a cold standby redundancy allocation problem (RAP) with imperfect switching mechanism, deriving a closed form version of a system reliability is too difficult. A convenient lower bound on system reliability is proposed and this approximation is widely used as a part of objective function for a system reliability maximization problem in the literature. Considering this lower bound do...
