Common Cause Failure Model of System Reliability Based on Bayesian Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: Common cause failure is an important phenomenon for a system with failure dependent parts. In this paper, several common cause failure models are analyzed and compared. A new common cause failure model for system reliability estimation is presented based on Bayesian Networks. Examples of series system, parallel system and series-parallel system are given to explain how to use the model to evaluate the reliability of system, through which the weak parts of the system can be identified. Also, Monte-Carlo simulation method is used to estimate the reliability based on Bayesian Networks, the results of which are compared with the system reliability under failure independence assumptions. The simulation results show that the reliability model based on Bayesian Network is consistent with the traditional qualitative analysis which proves that the Bayesian Networks model is accurate and valid.

A Bayesian Networks Approach to Reliability Analysis of a Launch Vehicle Liquid Propellant Engine
This paper presents an extension of Bayesian networks (BN) applied to reliability analysis of an open gas generator cycle Liquid propellant engine (OGLE) of launch vehicles. There are several methods for system reliability analysis such as RBD, FTA, FMEA, Markov Chains, and etc. But for complex systems such as LV, they are not all efficiently applicable due to failure dependencies between compo...
متن کاملMaintainability Policy for Deteriorating System with Inspection and Common Cause Failure (TECHNICAL NOTE)
A condition based preventive and corrective maintenance policy is proposed for a continuously operating system. The condition of the system is assumed to deteriorate with time. The model incorporates both deterioration as well as random common cause failures. The deterioration stages are modeled as discrete state processes. The system is put to random inspection to know the condition. The mean ...

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...
