Reliability Assessment Methodology for Massive Manufacturing Using Multi-Function Equipment

Reliability of manufacturing equipment in complex environments

We present two stochastic failure models for the reliability evaluation of manufacturing equipment that degrades due to its complex operating environment. The first model examines the case when the environment is a temporally nonhomogeneous continuous-time Markov chain, and the second assumes the environment is a temporally homogeneous semi-Markov process on a finite space. Derived are transfor...

Reliability Assessment of Telecommunications Equipment

This thesis studies the reliability of telecommunications equipment, its components, and the systems made using those components. Special attention is paid to creating stronger links between the reliability analyses performed at different hierarchy levels. The thesis starts with a temperature derating study. It is found out that the generic handbook based procedures may not always be very attra...

Reliability assessment of embedded digital system using multi-state function

Jong Gyun Choi, Poong Hyun Seong Department of Nuclear Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Gusong, Yusong, Daejon 305-701, South Korea Abstract This work describes a combinatorial model for estimating the reliability of the embedded digital system by means of multi-state function. This model includes a coverage model for fault-handling techniques implemented in digi...

A Methodology for Software Reliability Risk Assessment

Software reliability risk assessment based on its architecture is an important technology used to assure the quality of software products early in the software lifecycle. In this paper, we expand the work of “A methodology for architecture level reliability risk analysis” by S.Yacoub and et al. to present a more simple methodology for risk assessment at the design stages of the software develop...
