Reliability Analysis of Tampered Failure Rate Load-Sharing k-out-of-n:G Systems

چکیده
Load-sharing systems have several practical applications. In load-sharing systems, the event of a component failure will result in a higher load, therefore inducing a higher failure rate, in each of the surviving components. This introduces failure dependency among the load-sharing components, which in turn increases the complexity in analyzing these systems. In this paper, we provide a closed-form analytical solution for the reliability of tampered failure rate (TFR) load-sharing k-out-of-n:G systems with identical components where all surviving components share the load equally. The closed-form analytical solution provided in this paper allows efficient computations of system reliability characteristics. The solution is applicable for a wide range of failure time distributions of the components. The efficiency of the proposed solution is demonstrated through several numerical examples.

متن کاملAvailability of 3-out-of-4:G Warm Standby System
Standby techniques are used to improve system availability. Usually, a k-out-of-n:G standby system is assumed that when an operating component fails, a standby component becomes active and the system is working if at least k components are fault-free. In general, there are three types in component standby, i.e., cold, hot and warm standby. Cold standby implies that inactive components have a ze...

Reliability models based on Markov chain (Except in queuing systems) have extensive applications in electrical and electronic devices. Here, we consider a k-out-of-n:G system with n parallel and identical elements with increasing failure rates (failure rates are Weibull distributed) and non repairable elements. The failure rate of remaining elements increases when some elements fail. The system...
متن کاملReliability analysis of load-sharing m-out-of-n systems with arbitrary load and different probability distributions of time to failure
Abstract: The reliability analysis of load-sharing m-out-of-n systems where the workload is shared by the remaining working units when a unit fails is proposed in the paper. General expressions are provided for the m-out-of-n system reliability by arbitrary probability distributions of time to failure of units. Simplified methods are given for computing the survivor function in cases when the t...
