Availability model for a consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system of non-identical components with fuzzy rates
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper availability model for a linear (circular) consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system (or C(k, n:F) system) of nonidentical components has been considered. It is assumed that both the working time and repair time of each component are Rayleigh distributed. The estimate of the parameters from the Rayleigh distribution can be represented by triangular fuzzy numbers. A numerical example is solved to demonstrate the procedure clarifying the theoretical development.

Consecutive k-within-m-out-of-n:F System with Nonidentical Components
As a generalisation of consecutive k-out-of-n:F and k-out-of-n:F system models, a consecutive kwithin-m-out-of-n:F system consists of n linearly ordered components and fails if and only if there are m consecutive components which include among them at least k failed components. In this paper, we study the survival function of a consecutive k-within-m-out-of-n:F system consisting of independent ...

This paper derives lower & upper reliability bounds for the 2-dimensional consecutive k-out-of-n:F system (Salvia Lasher, 1990) with independent but not necessarily ident i d y distributed components. A Weibull limit theorem is proved for system time-tofailure for i.i.d. components.
متن کاملExact Failure Frequency Calculations for Extended Systems
This paper shows how the steady-state availability and failure frequency can be calculated in a single pass for very large systems, when the availability is expressed as a product of matrices. We apply the general procedure to k-out-of-n:G and linear consecutive k-out-of-n:F systems, and to a simple ladder network in which each edge and node may fail. We also give the associated generating func...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for Computing the Reliability of Consecutive-k-Out-Of-n: F Systems
Many algorithms for computing the reliability of linear or circular consecutive-k-out-of-n:F systems appeared in this Transactions. The best complexity estimate obtained for solving this problem is O(k log(n/k)) operations in the case of i.i.d. components. Using fast algorithms for computing a selected term of a linear recurrence with constant coefficients, we provide an algorithm having arithm...
متن کاملFuzzy Reliability Evaluation of a Repairable System with Imperfect Coverage, Reboot and Common-cause Shock Failure
In the present investigation, we deal with the reliability characteristics of a repairable system consisting of two independent operating units, by incorporating the coverage factor. The probability of the successful detection, location and recovery from a failure is known as the coverage probability. The reboot delay and common cause shock failure are also considered. The times to failure of t...
