Reliability Analysis of a Load-Sharing k-out-of-n System Due to Its Components’ Failure

Reliability Analysis of Tampered Failure Rate Load-Sharing k-out-of-n:G Systems

Load-sharing systems have several practical applications. In load-sharing systems, the event of a component failure will result in a higher load, therefore inducing a higher failure rate, in each of the surviving components. This introduces failure dependency among the load-sharing components, which in turn increases the complexity in analyzing these systems. In this paper, we provide a closed-...

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...

Real Time Study of a k-out-of-n System: n Identical Elements with Increasing Failure Rates

On Conditional Inactivity Time of Failed Components in an (n-k+1)-out-of-n System with Nonidentical Independent Components

In this paper, we study an (n-k+1)-out-of-n system by adopting their components to be statistically independent though nonidentically distributed. By assuming that at least m components at a fixed time have failed while the system is still working, we obtain the mixture representation of survival function for a quantity called the conditional inactivity time of failed components in the system. ...

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...
