reliability and safety modelling in reliable systems supported with cold standby spares by a markov model
نویسندگان
چکیده
fault tolerance is one of the important issues in industries, such as transportation, military, chemical and nuclear sectors. reliability and safety are two vital attributes of fault tolerant systems, and redundancy is a common way to improve these parameters. this article studies the impact of including cold standby spares in system architecture. to do this, it uses the markov model of the system due to its capabilities in incorporating and modeling of priorities, functional dependencies, timing relations, reconfiguration issues and events sequences, existed in the system dynamic. the previous studies in the domain of reliable and fault tolerant systems have not presented general formulas to evaluate the reliability and safety of systems supported with cold spares. this article presents closed formulas for these attributes by which the impact of the number of spares, failure rate of modules, coverage factor, and switch quality can be studied on the system performance.

Reliability evaluation of multi-component cold-standby redundant systems
A new methodology for the reliability evaluation of an l-dissimilar-unit non-repairable cold-standby redundant system is introduced in this paper. Each unit is composed of a number of independent components with generalized Erlang distributions of lifetimes, arranged in any general configuration. We also extend the proposed model to the general types of non-constant hazard functions. To evaluat...
متن کاملReliability of Standby Systems
Reliability theory bases on the concept of boolean components, i.e. of up, operating or down, failed components. But often such assumption is not adequate for modeling specific behaviors of components, units, subsystems and systems. It cannot catch, for example, different operating conditions of components due to dependencies on other components or environment variations. Aim of this paper is t...
متن کاملOn the Reliability of a Renewable Multiple Cold Standby System
Apart from important but particular cases, such as state-dependent exponential distributions, for example, [1, 4] or an arbitrary repair time distribution [12], the reliability analysis of multiple cold standby systems is far from complete. We present a general reliability analysis of a basic multiple cold standby system attended by a single repairman, henceforth called a K-system. The K-system...
متن کاملReliability Analysis of $k$-out-of- $n$ Systems With Single Cold Standby Using Pearson Distributions
-out-ofsystems with cold standby units are typically studied for unit lifetime distributions that allow analytical tractability. Often, however, these distributions differ signi cantly from reality. In this paper, we present an analytical approach to compute the mean failure time for -out-ofsystems with a single cold standby unit for the wide class of lifetime distributions that can be captured...
متن کاملReliability Analysis of k-out-of-n Cold Standby Systems with Erlang Distributions
Many fielded systems use cold standby redundancy as an effective system design strategy. However, methods for analyzing the reliability of k-out-of-n cold standby systems, particularly with components having age-dependent hazard rates, are limited. In this paper, using the concepts of counting processes, we propose an efficient method to evaluate the reliability of k-out-of-n cold standby syste...
متن کاملOn the Reliability of Standby Redundant Systems with Repair
The reliability of repairable stand by systems is investigated using semi-Markov processes. The systems are composed of n units having general failure time distribution with mean 1/). and of r repair facilities having exponential repair time distribution with mean l/p. For these systems, the Laplace-Stieltjes transform (LST) of the system failure time distribution is derived in the form of a ge...
