Lower-Bounding the MTTF for Systems with (m, k) Constraints and IID Iteration Failure Probabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive a sound lower bound on the mean time to failure of periodic systems with (m,k) constraints. We assume that upper bounds on the failure probabilities of each system iteration, e.g., a job or a runtime activation of a periodic task, or a single actuation cycle of a control loop, are known and that they satisfy the IID assumption. Our analysis leverages prior work on the well-studied a-within-consecutive-b-out-of-c:F system model.

This paper deals with the transient analysis of K-out-of-N: G system consisting of Noperatingmachines. To improve system reliability, Y cold standby and S warm standbys spares areprovided to replace the failed machines. The machines are assumed to fail in multiple modes. At leastK-out-of-N machines for smooth functioning of the system. Reliability and mean time to failure areestablished in term...
متن کاملReliability Measures Improvement and Sensitivity Analysis of a Coal Handling Unit for Thermal Power Plant
The present paper investigates the reliability and sensitivity analysis of a coal handling unit of a thermal power plant using a probabilistic approach. Coal handling unit is the main block of a thermal power plant and it is necessary for a good function of a power plant that its power supply, which is dealt in coal handling unit, must function continuously without any obstacle. The configurati...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Reliability of a Three-Component System with Two Repairmen
In this paper authors have considered a system having three units A, B1 and B2. A is controlled by a controller and B1 and B2 are independent. Two repairmen are involved in repair of the system. One of the repairmen (the first) is the foreman (boss) and the other an assistant (apprentice). Whenever any unit fails, repair is undertaken by boss. If the boss is busy in repairing and at the same ti...
متن کاملBounding blocking probabilities and throughput in queueing networks with buffer capacity constraints
We propose a new technique for upper and lower bounding the throughput and blocking probabilities in queueing networks with buuer capacity constraints, i.e, some buuers in the network have nite capacity. By studying the evolution of multinomials of the state of the system in its assumed steady state, we obtain constraints on the possible behavior of the system. Using these constraints, we obtai...
متن کاملA Recursive Approximation Approach of non-iid Lognormal Random Variables Summation in Cellular Systems
Co-channel interference is a major factor in limiting the capacity and link quality in cellular communications. As the co-channel interference is modeled by lognormal distribution, sum of the co-channel interferences of neighboring cells is represented by the sum of lognormal Random Variables (RVs) which has no closed-form expression. Assuming independent, identically distributed (iid) RVs, the...
