Common Cause Failures and Ultra Reliability
A common cause failure occurs when several failures have the same origin. Common cause failures are either common event failures, where the cause is a single external event, or common mode failures, where two systems fail in the same way for the same reason. Common mode failures can occur at different times because of a design defect or a repeated external event. Common event failures reduce th...
متن کاملProbabilistic Analysis of a Robot System with Redundant Safety Units and Common-Cause Failures
Abstract: This paper presents reliability and availability analyses of a model representing a system having one robot and n-redundant safety units with common-cause failures. At least k safety units must function successfully for the robot system success. The robot and other failure rates and the partially failed system repair rates are assumed constant and the failed robot-safety system repair...
متن کاملMTBF evaluation for 2-out-of-3 redundant repairable systems with common cause and cascade failures considering fuzzy rates for failures and repair: a case study of a centrifugal water pumping system
In many cases, redundant systems are beset by both independent and dependent failures. Ignoring dependent variables in MTBF evaluation of redundant systems hastens the occurrence of failure, causing it to take place before the expected time, hence decreasing safety and creating irreversible damages. Common cause failure (CCF) and cascading failure are two varieties of dependent failures, both l...
متن کاملDesign of Redundant Systems Protected Against Common-Mode Failures
Redundancy techniques like duplication and Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) are widely used to design fault-tolerant systems. In this paper, for the first time, we develop fault models for common-mode failures (CMFs) in redundant systems and describe techniques to design redundant systems protected against the modeled CMFs. We first develop an input-register-CMF model that targets systems with r...
متن کاملReliability analysis of static and dynamic fault-tolerant systems subject to probabilistic common-cause failures
Fault-tolerant systems designed with redundancy techniques are typically subject to common-cause failures, which are multiple dependent component failures caused by a shared root cause or a common cause (also known as a shock). There are two types of shocks: fatal and non-fatal. A fatal shock (FS) will fail all components of a system. A non-fatal shock (NFS) will affect only a subset of system ...
