An exact method for solving logical loops in reliability analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an exact method for solving logical loops in reliability analysis. The systems that include logical loops are usually described by simultaneous Boolean equations. First, present a basic rule of solving simultaneous Boolean equations. Next, show the analysis procedures for three-component system with external supports. Third, more detailed discussions are given for the establishment of logical loop relation. Finally, take up two typical structures which include more than one logical loop. Their analysis results and corresponding GO-FLOW charts are given. The proposed analytical method is applicable to loop structures that can be described by simultaneous Boolean equations, and it is very useful in evaluating the reliability of complex engineering systems. & 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Generalized Method for Solving Logical Loops in Reliability Analysis
A procedure is proposed for obtaining reliability of a system with loop structure(s). The procedure is not a recursive method but a straight forward method, and directly reaches the exact solution of Boolean equation which represents operating states of a system with loop structure(s). The concepts of “support gap” and “Takeover” phenomenon are introduced for the generalized method. A fundament...
متن کاملA new idea for exact solving of the complex interval linear systems
In this paper, the aim is to find a complex interval vector [Z] such that satisfies the complex interval linear system C[Z]=[W]. For this, we present a new method by restricting the general solution set via applying some parameters. The numerical examples are given to show ability and reliability of the proposed method.

In this paper, a new method is proposed for fuzzy structural reliability analysis; it considers epistemic uncertainty arising from the statistical ambiguity of random variables. The proposed method, namely, fuzzy dynamic-directional stability transformation method, includes two iterative loops. An internal algorithm performs the reliability analysis using the dynamic-directional stability trans...

Weighted Simulation-based Design Method (WSDM) is recently developed as an efficient method for Reliability- Based Design Optimization (RBDO). Despite simplicity, this method degrades effectiveness to obtain accurate optimum design for high dimension RBDO. Besides, its application range is restricted to RBDOs including only random design variables. In the present study, local search strategy...
متن کاملVariational Iteration Method for Free Vibration Analysis of a Timoshenko Beam under Various Boundary Conditions
In this paper, a relatively new method, namely variational iteration method (VIM), is developed for free vibration analysis of a Timoshenko beam with different boundary conditions. In the VIM, an appropriate Lagrange multiplier is first chosen according to order of the governing differential equation of the boundary value problem, and then an iteration process is used till the desired accuracy ...
