Reliability Analysis of Consecutive-k, r-Out-Of-n: DFM System using GERT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Koutras (1997) analyzed reliability of a consecutive-k, r-out-of-n: DFM system consisting of n components linearly arranged which fails if and only if at least k consecutive components are failed-open or at least r consecutive components are failed-short. In this paper Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT) has been applied to model and analyze the reliability of the above system. One of the strengths of the GERT network is the graphical representation, which is intuitive and easy to understand. The components are assumed to be i.i.d. Furthermore, numerical computations are conducted using Software Mathematica to determine the actual computation times, which are almost negligible.

متن کاملNumber of Minimal Path Sets in a Consecutive-k-out-of-n: F System
In this paper the combinatorial problem of determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system is considered. For the cases where k = 2, 3 the explicit formulae are given and for k ≥ 4 a recursive relation is obtained. Direct computation for determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system for k ≥ 4 remains a difficult task. ...

in the new production systems, finding a way to improving the product and system reliability in design is a very important. The reliability of the products and systems may improve using different methods. One of this methods is redundancy allocation problem. In this problem by adding redundant component to sub-systems under some constraints, the reliability improved. In this paper we worked on ...
متن کاملRedundancy allocation problem for k-out-of-n systems with a choice of redundancy strategies
To increase the reliability of a specific system, using redundant components is a common method which is called redundancy allocation problem (RAP). Some of the RAP studies have focused on k-out-of-n systems. However, all of these studies assumed predetermined active or standby strategies for each subsystem. In this paper, for the first time, we propose a k-out-of-<em...
