Reliability Evaluation of Two-Stage Directed Semi-Markov Repairable Network Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two-stage directed Semi-Markov repairable network system is presented in this paper to model the performance of many transmission systems, such as power or oil transmission network, water or gas supply network, etc. The availability of the system is discussed by using Markov renewal theory, Laplace transform and probability analysis methods. A numerical example is given to illustrate the results obtained in the paper.

Availability analysis of mechanical systems with condition-based maintenance using semi-Markov and evaluation of optimal condition monitoring interval
Maintenance helps to extend equipment life by improving its condition and avoiding catastrophic failures. Appropriate model or mechanism is, thus, needed to quantify system availability vis-a-vis a given maintenance strategy, which will assist in decision-making for optimal utilization of maintenance resources. This paper deals with semi-Markov process (SMP) modeling for steady state availabili...
متن کاملReliability analysis of repairable systems using system dynamics modeling and simulation
Repairable standby system’s study and analysis is an important topic in reliability. Analytical techniques become very complicated and unrealistic especially for modern complex systems. There have been attempts in the literature to evolve more realistic techniques using simulation approach for reliability analysis of systems. This paper proposes a hybrid approach called as Markov system ...
متن کاملAggregated semi-Markov repairable systems with history-dependent up and down states
This paper introduces a Markov model for a multi-state repairable system in which some states are changeable in the sense that whether those states are up or down depends on the recent system evolution history. Several reliability indexes, such as availability, mean up time, steady-state reliability, are calculated using the matrix method. A sufficient condition under which the availabilities o...

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...
متن کاملMCSS Based Numerical Simulation for Reliability Evaluation of Repairable System in NPP
The quantitative analyses of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP)’s repairable systems are conventionally Markov-based methods. The thing is, systems’ state space grows exponentially with the increase of basic events, which makes the problem hard or even impossible to solve. In addition, the maintenance /test activities are frequently imposed on some safety-critical components, which make the Markov based...
