Cost- Effective Optimum Design of Parallel Redundant System with Common Cause Failures &Fault Coverage
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with cost – effective optimum design of parallel redundant system. The components in the redundant system are assumed to be identical and failure time follows exponential distribution. This paper suggests optimal spares (S*) required for redundant configuration in parallel redundant system. The results are presented for common cause failures with fault coverage.

Developing a method for reliability allocation of series-parallel systems by considering common cause failure
Reliability allocation has an essential connection to design for reliability and is an important activity in the product design and development process. In determining the reliability of subsystems or components on the basis of goal reliability, attention must be paid to failure effect, failure information, and improvement opportunities based upon real potentials for reliability improvement. In...
متن کاملMTBF evaluation for 2-out-of-3 redundant repairable systems with common cause and cascade failures considering fuzzy rates for failures and repair: a case study of a centrifugal water pumping system
In many cases, redundant systems are beset by both independent and dependent failures. Ignoring dependent variables in MTBF evaluation of redundant systems hastens the occurrence of failure, causing it to take place before the expected time, hence decreasing safety and creating irreversible damages. Common cause failure (CCF) and cascading failure are two varieties of dependent failures, both l...

متن کاملFault tolerant system with imperfect coverage, reboot and server vacation
This study is concerned with the performance modeling of a fault tolerant system consisting of operating units supported by a combination of warm and cold spares. The on-line as well as warm standby units are subject to failures and are send for the repair to a repair facility having single repairman which is prone to failure. If the failed unit is not detected, the system enters into an unsafe...
متن کاملOptimal structure of multi-state systems with multi-fault coverage
Due to imperfect fault coverage, the reliability of redundant systems cannot be enhanced unlimitedly with the increase of redundancy. Thus it is essential to study the optimal structure of redundant systems. This paper considers a multi-state series-parallel system with two types of parallelization: redundancy and work sharing. Different from existing works which consider single-fault coverage,...
