Reliability Importance Analysis of Generalized Phased-Mission Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reliability importance analysis is usually used to detect design weakness, to identify which components contribute the most to the failure of a system, and thus to help find the most cost-effective way for upgrading the system. In this paper, we consider the reliability importance analysis of components in a generalized phased-mission system using the Birnbaum’s measure. Our method is based on multi-state binary decision diagrams. In addition, it accounts for two-level modular imperfect coverage that arises from the combination of traditional imperfect coverage and more general than OR-ed combinatorial phase requirements. An example three-phased mission system is analyzed to illustrate the applications and advantages of the proposed approach.

High performance reliability analysis of phased mission systems
Systems often operate over a set of time periods, known as phases, in which their reliability structure varies and many include both repairable and nonrepairable components. Success for such systems is defined as the completion of all phases, known as a phased mission, without failure. An example of such a system is an aircraft landing gear system during a flight. The Binary Decision Diagram (B...
متن کاملA binary decision diagram method for phased mission analysis of non-repairable systems
Phased mission analysis is carried out to predict the reliability of systems which undergo a series of phases, each with differing requirements for success, with the mission objective being achieved only on the successful completion of all phases. Many systems from a range of industries experience such missions. The methods used for phased mission analysis are dependent upon the repairability o...
متن کاملReliability Analysis of k-out-of-n Systems with Phased- Mission Requirements
Many practical systems are phased-mission systems (PMS) where the mission consists of multiple, consecutive, and non-overlapping phases. An accurate reliability analysis of a PMS must consider the statistical dependencies of component states across phases as well as dynamics in system configuration, success criteria and component behavior. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for exact...

The use of autonomous systems is becoming increasingly common in many fields. A significant example of this is the ambition to deploy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for both civil and military applications. In order for autonomous systems such as these to operate effectively, they must be capable of making decisions regarding the appropriate future course of their mission responding to changes...
