Stress-strength reliability models under incomplete information
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach to compute structural reliability is proposed. The novelty of the approach is that initial statistical information concerning the stress and strength of engineered structures is partial. Different numerous cases of state of knowledge about the stress and strength are analysed. A set of canonical analytical expressions for computing imprecise structural reliability has been obtained, and a few examples are presented. The reliability models developed are generalisations of conventional one.

Interval assessments in structural reliability using the imprecise Dirichlet model
A new approach to structural reliability analysis under incomplete information about the stress and strength in the form of intervals provided by experts or obtained as a result of imprecise measurements is proposed in the paper. The approach takes into account the possible fact that the number of judgments or observations may be rather small. It is shown that interval-valued information about ...
متن کاملIdentifiability Issues in Dynamic Stress-Strength Modeling
In many real life scenarios, system reliability depends on dynamic stress-strength interference where strength degrades and stress accumulates concurrently over time. In some other cases, shocks appear at random time points, causing damage which is only effective at the instant of shock arrival. In this paper, we consider the identifiability problem of a system under deterministic strength degr...
متن کاملSequential-Based Approach for Estimating the Stress-Strength Reliability Parameter for Exponential Distribution
In this paper, two-stage and purely sequential estimation procedures are considered to construct fixed-width confidence intervals for the reliability parameter under the stress-strength model when the stress and strength are independent exponential random variables with different scale parameters. The exact distribution of the stopping rule under the purely sequential procedure is approximated ...
متن کاملDynamic reliability evaluation for a multi-state component under stress-strength model
For many technical systems, stress-strength models are of special importance. Stress-strength models can be described as an assessment of the reliability of the component in terms of X and Y random variables where X is the random ”stress” experienced by the component and Y is the random ”strength” of the component available to overcome the stress. The reliability of the component is the probabi...
متن کاملDecelerated Testing: A Hierarchical Bayes Approach
The problem discussed here has arisen from an industrial scenario involving the potential failure of an element of building structures. The element carries with it a warranty of several years. The scenario considered is not specific to buildings and occurs under other circumstances; it goes under the label “product stewardship.” Its statistical content, however, is inference from accelerated te...
