Reliability Analysis of a Self-Repairing Embryonic Machine

چکیده
The embryonics project proposes a family of cellular architectures with reconfiguration properties inspired by the ontogenesis of multicellular organisms. This paper proposes reliability models for the MICTREE embryonic architecture. The models are used to analyse the reliability of MICTREE arrays with different combinations of spare cells. The methodology followed to attain the models can be used to analyse other cellular architectures with spares.

Reliability Analysis in Self-Repairing Embryonic Systems
One characteristic of biological organisms that is desirable in engineering systems is the ability to tolerate faults in their components. Fault tolerance in artificial cellular systems is generally achieved by either timeredundancy or hardware-redundancy. In hardware redundancy spare cells are introduced so that when an active cell fails, a spare substitutes it. In the embryonic hardware archi...
متن کاملMinimum Self-Repairing Graphs
A graph is self-repairing if it is 2-connected and such that the removal of any single vertex results in no increase in distance between any pair of remaining vertices of the graph. We completely characterize the class of minimum self-repairing graphs, which have the fewest edges for a given number of vertices. 1 Preliminaries In this paper, we investigate the class of graphs which we call self...
متن کاملN-Policy for M/G/1 Machine Repair Model with Mixed Standby Components, Degraded Failure and Bernoulli Feedback
In this paper, we study N-policy for a finite population Bernoulli feedback queueing model for machine repair problem with degraded failure. The running times of the machines between breakdowns have an exponential distribution. The repair times of the machines are independent and identically distributed random variables. If at any time a machine fails, it is sent to the repairman for repairing,...
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 کاملRAM analysis of earth pressure balance tunnel boring machines: A case study
Earth pressure balance tunnel boring machines (EPB-TBMs) are favorably applied in urban tunneling projects. Despite their numerous advantages, considerable delays and high maintenance cost are the main disadvantages these machines suffer from. Reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) analysis is a practical technique that uses failure and repair dataset obtained over a reasonable ti...
